12 x 12 in 2012: Picture Book Writing Challenge


Come join me in this new challenge hosted by children's book author, Julie Hedlund, at Write Up My Life. Per her blog:
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write one picture book per month for each of the twelve months of 2012. This means a first draft: beginning, middle, end. NOT a submission-ready piece. Sounds easy right? It sounds easy to me, too. But when I looked back on my writing output from 2011, I discovered that I only completed one draft from all 30 of the PiBoIdMo ideas I came up with in 2010. I did draft, edit and revise other pieces I had in the works, but I am not content with my overall 2011 results. So I decided to challenge myself to write many more in 2012, and I figured, why not invite others to join me so we can support and encourage each other along the way?

It is such a delight to me that often these days the blogs that pop up in my google alerts for topics about writing for kids include bloggers I recognize! Today one of those google alerts brought me to your blog, Elizabeth, and I'm glad it did!

It's good to be traveling along on the 12 x 12 journey with so many other people. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and others as the journey continues.

All the best in your writing!

Hi Beth - Thanks for stopping by! This is my little-known blog about writing. My main blog gets over a million hits a year: http://dulemba.blogspot.com/ . I kinda like how small this one is. :)
And I'm looking forward to the 12x12 journey too!
