March Reading, Writing, Reading and Blogging Challenge MADNESS




Wednesday February 29 we are heading into another month of madness. This time it is reading, writing, blogging. Set some goals and do daily checkins (not required, just you'll be entered to for prizes each time you do). I have done this a couple years now and it is fun, intense and...fun. Plus you will be in there with fellow writers, readers, bloggers! The wonderful Denise Jaden is organizing and leading the charge again, so head to her blog to find out more details and how to sign up on February 29. In the meantime think of some goals for March that you'd like to share when you do sign up. One of mine will be...eek!...start from scratch on a novel of mine. Yep. Out with the draft I have. Also need some writing and blogging goals, working those out still.

  2. Can't wait! I've been floundering around with this manuscript (February Floundering is definitely not as fun as March Madness). But I'm working hard to figure out what I need to do so I'll be ready to revise like MAD in March. :)

    1. Hey! That's where I'm at with a manuscript...and just decided I am going to start from the beginning and let go of the old draft. So much has changed if I keep trying to revise the words on the page I am going to get more and more bogged down. Good luck figuring yours out!
