The Most Interesting Thing: Are you ready for some MARCH MADNESS?

Do you have a writing or illustrating project you'd like to work on, but are having a tough time getting started? How about a project you haven't been able to finish? Do you need some daily encouragement, incentive, or accountability? If so, you've come to the right place. 

Starting February 29th, you can join us for a little MARCH MADNESS. I'll be hosting here every Wednesday during the month of March. For more details, check out Denise Jaden's explanation here.

We'll be checking in on one specific blog each day to cheer each other on. And did I mention there'll be

PRIZES?

Yes, fabulous prizes, one of which is a first-page critique from my fabulous agent, Katie Grimm of Don Congdon Associates. 

You can participate by commenting each day. Each time you check in and record your progress, your name will be entered into a drawing. The more you participate, the better your odds of winning.

We also meet on Twitter under the hashtag #wipmadness all year long.

So get on over to Denise's blog  for the details and be sure to post your goals on February 29th (it only comes 'round once every four years, right?)

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in a comment. 

The Most Interesting Thing--What Do You See?

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

--Henry David Thoreau

What are you looking at? What do you see? Are things moving or not? 

 Do you ever get so close to your manuscript that you can't see the flaws?

What do you do?

Do you let your manuscript rest?

 For how long?

Do you give it to others?

How many?

The Most Interesting Thing: Do you Dwell in Possibility?

"I dwell in possibility." - Emily Dickenson

Emily Dickenson's Poem

I want to dwell in the place where all things are possible

The place of my childhood

The place of my dreams

Not just for a visit

But to reside

Forever

Do you have moments when you believe that anything is possible? Sometimes I do. Sometimes I live in a house full of windows and doors. But sometimes I get trapped in the dark basement of impossibility, chained to the walls of defeatist thinking. Shackles of negativity bite into my wrists and ankles. Who decides where I dwell? I want to be the one. Today I choose to dwell in possibility. How about you?
