We’re all very excited that spring has taken hold. But many authors love a challenge to help push their novels, stories, publishing, outlining, etc. to finish or even start a new project. And a community.
Several Northern Illinois groups have banded together to put out the #SpringIntoAStory challenge. We’re hoping for others to come on board with us.
This challenge is a pick-and-choose what you would like to do. Within the Writing Journey, there is tracking of your April project (want to join the Journey? Click here to become a free member). But even outside of that, we have so many activities all can share in.
Hop on social media and share your goal or your writing progress. Check out our blog with tips, tricks, and weekly challenges.
In fact, here is our first weekly challenge:
We even have writing prompts to help inspire you to Spring Into A Story!
Drop a comment if you post a story! We’d love to share it with more writers and readers.
April Journey Meeting
This month’s presentations will be:
Join us for a session led by Anne Beall, co-owner of Chicago Story Press. She will discuss the anthology submission success. Gain insights into the selection process and receive tips on how to create writing for this publication. She will also discuss literary journals and provide some strategies to navigate this competitive landscape and get your work published. Learn what to do, what not to do, and how to pinpoint the perfect journals for your writing.
Poetry Slam participation workshop led by Bevan Das. Bring your poem and join the party!
see you then
don’t be late
i won’t win the slam
so hold your hate.
Just showing you it is open to all
today I am the one with gall
tongue in cheek
cheek in tongue
don’t forget to come, come, come!
