twelve days of writing - recap

Thank you everyone for following the 12 Days of Writing. I enjoyed putting this together and appreciate the positive feedback I received. I'll hope to do something similar next year — only bigger and better of course.

Here's a rundown of the 12 days:

No. 1: Use your family's annual holiday letter as a writing exercise.
No. 2: Rekindle the love for your story and write through tough middles.
No. 3: Persevere.
No. 4: Look for story inspiration in your daily life.
No. 5: Learn people's real love stories.
No. 6: Make writing your business.
No. 7: Take a break to see other people.
No. 8: Talk to your family and learn their stories.
No. 9: Build a writing community.
No. 10: Know how to give and receive constructive criticism.
No. 11: Remember that even you have a story to tell.
No. 12: Make your own opportunities.

The week three winner will be drawn and announced at 2 p.m. CDT. Be sure to check back then to see if you're a winner.
