Today is the last day to sign up for the April 21 Moments Writing Challenge. I’m extending one day due to spring break and Easter. Learn more here.
You may have heard that I am taking the 21 Moments Writing Challenge alongside the folks taking it this month.
It’s true. This is no April Fool’s joke!
I have set up a password-protected page and I will post my 250-500 word drafts daily prior to midnight the same day as each day’s prompt.
Anyone who is taking the challenge this month will receive the password to the page where I am posting at midnight.
Be sure to write your daily piece before you view mine, so you can see how terrible my draft is and gloat about what a better writer you are than me. 🙂
Seriously, do not expect masterpieces. These are going to be drafts.
Even so, I am very excited about taking the challenge myself, after three months of being mainly focused on creating new challenges for you guys.
I’ve seen one sad message already from a person who has taken all three rounds and now feels that her inbox is unbearably empty.
To anyone who finds themselves in this boat, I suggest you take whichever round you liked best again, but this time use the prompts as inspiration to REWRITE the best of the pieces you already wrote in earlier rounds (assuming you have not done this already).
The first time you approached the prompts, you were reading them for inspiration, but they can also be analyzed for craft. And when you analyze for craft, you become a better editor of your own work.
So just give me a holler if you want to jump in for an editorial round. Today is the last day for anyone who wants to jump in the April Round.
Hope you can join us. Wish me luck!
