I'm in the middle of revisions for my first picture book of the year. Hopefully, by June I'll have at least 5 new drafts since I'm doing the 12 x 12 challenge. Maybe I'll even take a look at another project I set aside some time ago.
You, your words, and #1000 words of summer inspire me.
There's so many great things going on there, I'm not sure I can pick just one. I like that it's a low-pressure challenge at the same time providing accountability if you want or need it. I do! The monthly badges you can earn are a huge motivator for me. The forum, book chats, and webinars are a wealth of knowledge, all in a welcoming community.
I’m currently working on the first draft of part three of my novel. My goal is mid-June. Your timing is perfectly in sync with my hopeful goal. Count me in again this year. Thanks, Jami.
I enjoyed the daily emails so much -- and one of them introduced me to my absolute favorite read of 2024: Kaveh Akbar's "Martyr!" I'm looking forward to seeing who is on the 2025 roster! Thank you!!
Just a snippet of this interview on the Bookcase was featured on their 'advice' roundup. What he shared was so relatable and genius it made me want to read Martyr!
ahh always wanted to participate but always was on the go and traveling, so excited to join this Summer!! also joining you in finishing my draft - i just started my rewrite for the 6th draft, so it shall be an exciting time :))
I’m currently rewriting my first draft from 3rd person to 1st person 😅 I need to make sure I get that version done ASAP. Then I can work on the rest of the revisions… I’ll probably be knee deep in that for this year’s #1000words!

Never heard of the 12x12 challenge & just googled & wow, I love that! What’s your favorite part about it so far?

thanks for replying! i like a good low-pressure challenge that still offers the comfort of accountability :)
This is perfect, I’ll be (hopefully) finishing my first draft around then!
Excellent!

The dates are on my calendar. I hope to be good and started and steady on the first draft of my new project.
You got this!!
I've moved onto LibreOffice, so editing my work will be so much easier.

I have a novella idea that I've been avoiding working on, so I want to set aside time to write that project!!
