Today is "Eat Your Vegetables Day"

Today's writers must make their writing relevant to the reader. One way to do this is to connect your writing to current events. When you find a "wacky holdiay" that relates to your favorite subject you have a built in writing platform.

Today happens to be National Eat Your Vegetables Day! Since I write a column about chocolate -- and we all know that chocolate is really a vegetable -- I have an opportunity for a column, a short or even a feature story!
Sorry to say you already missed National Hollerin' Contest Day (June 16), National Juggling Day (June 13), National Applesauce Cake Day (June 4) and Natonal Yo-Yo Day (June 6). But don't panic until tomorrow (National Panic Day -- June 18).

I'm sure most of you know that this coming Sunday is Father's Day, but I'll venture to say that most of you don't know about these other June holidays:
