“One of the most important tools for a writer trying to find success in today’s media environment is a strong platform. That’s part of the reason I devote so much time to the topic on MNINB. However, I’ve been thinking about how to get even more hands on with helping writers build their online platforms, and I think I know the solution: A month-long platform building challenge.”
April begins this weekend! So go on over to Robert’s blog and see what he had in mind for this challenge. I’ll be following along, that’s for sure.
And if a platform challenge isn’t your thing, maybe a poetry challenge is!
Have a great weekend. See you back here on Monday.
Late last weekend I returned from the Virginia Festival of the Book, about which you’ll soon read more–assuming that you’re a subscriber to our free e-newsletter, The Practicing Writer. (The April issue will go out tomorrow or Saturday.)
Beyond writing thank-you notes and emails, and returning to my day job, and proofreading the newsletter, I’ve somehow managed to squeeze in a bit of writing (and pitching) these past few days. And here’s one especially bright spot: On Monday, I received some good news about a fun contest I entered recently (more about that soon, too).
Overall, I’d say I’m feeling a tad bit breathless–catching up, looking ahead, crossing some items off my to-do list and adding new ones every day.
How about you? What’s happening this week with all of your works-in-progress?
