Writer's Platform Building Crusade!

Writers, as a group, are an amazing bunch.

They are always coming up with creative ideas.  They are generous about sharing their ideas, which makes the writing community a great one to belong to.

Rachael Harrie over at Rach Writes had a wonderful idea for linking writers together.  She calls it the Writer's Platform Building Crusade, and this is its second year.  It's a way for writer's to support each other - helping others and helping themselves at the same time.

Let's face it, writing is a tough business, especially now.  As Rachael rightly points out, we can all use a little support :)  If you're interested in being part of the Crusade, here's the link:

I hope you'll join in.  I'm really looking forward to meeting other writers and reading their blogs.

And now, an update on the Picture Book Marathon....

I got off to a good start on days one and two, but have fallen behind - a bit too much going on! (although luckily there was a lot of birthday cake involved :))  I'm going to do my best to catch up this week, though!  Wish me luck and send inspiration my way :)

And don't forget - guest post with Karen Orloff coming up, probably tomorrow or Wednesday!  Get ready to enter a contest for a free signed copy of her latest book, I WANNA NEW ROOM!

OK.  Enough chit-chat.  Time to get to work!!!
