Each month has special events that writers can use as a source of inspiration. For instance, if you’re looking for ideas to write about during the month of December, you’ll have Christmas, but you might also think about ideas that have to do with keeping warm in the winter, or family games to play in the snow. It all depends on the month.

So, being that we’re in July, this post will cover topics and ideas you might use for writing projects based on the month. For those of us in the United States, we naturally have our Independence Day (July 4^th), however we are not the only nation celebrating Independence during this month. Countries such as Venezuela, Peru, Belgium, and Liberia all celebrate during the month, just to name a few. From this you could do articles on the following:

*Write a history about a specific nation’s fight for freedom.
*What caused certain countries, other than the United States, to claim their Independence.
*How do other countries celebrate their Independence Day?
*How did certain nations choose the colors and patterns for what has become their national flags?
*Write an article about the bloodiest, easiest, or longest fight for Independence in history.

July is also pretty much the middle of summer for most of the Northern Hemisphere. It’s almost like a turning point for the seasons. The summer solstice has come and gone, and from now until midwinter, the days get progressively shorter. From this you might write about the following ideas:

*How to throw a summer bash in your own backyard.
*Cheap and easy ways to keep cool this summer
*Keep your home cool on a budget
*Party themes for backyard barbeques
*Home remedies for sunburn, bug bites, and poison ivy

A lot of kids go off to camp during the month of July. Some kids go to Scout camp, some go to church camp, and others go to camps for specialized school activities. For some it’s a great experience, but for others, it’s the first time away from home. Here are a few ideas you might write about.

*Write a guide on things every kid should have at camp.
*Do a review of certain camps in your area.
*Write an article on how to help a child get over their fear of going to camp.
*Interview someone who is currently or has worked at a kids camp.
*Choosing the right camp for your child.

There are a lot of ideas you can write about for each month of the year. You can work on the more popular themes, or you can find other ideas that coincide with that particular time of year.
