Hello, everyone! Here we are at the end of February already. Between continuing registration and launching our YouTube channel, I’m afraid I didn’t get a new draft written. I did, however, revise. AND completed my marketing questionnaire for my fall release (which honestly took way longer than a first draft would). So all in all, I am very pleased with my output this month.
What about you? Did you complete a draft and/or revision in February? Did you post a review of a 12 x 12 member book on Amazon, GoodReads, or Barnes and Noble? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. February Featured Author Dr. Artika Tyner is offering one lucky 12 x 12 member a signed copy of her book JUSTICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE. Thanks, Artika!

February is a short month and I feel like I am working double time to get everything completed.
It is a short month! I turned around and remembered that I hadn’t checked in for March yet. Was able to do an intensive redraft of my January story, so that felt good.
I am not sure what a rafflecopter is! I did comment but didn’t see the button for wrote a draft for this month.
I’m not sure either, but I wrote a comment somewhere for February, although I think it was on the March Author. Still learning.
I revised a couple of mss during February and I’m moving into 2023 with high hopes.
I wrote two February *rough* drafts!
I reviewed a PB on Amazon and Teachers Pay Teachers. I also started a rough draft but am struggling to end it. I also revised a PB!
I wrote and revised several drafts of stories of PBs. I’m just not sure where I am to submit things.
Hi Denise! You don’t have to submit anything for it to count toward your 12 x 12 goal. If you’d like to get feedback, you can post a manuscript in the Full Manuscript section of the forum or you can check out Critique Connect and join a critique group. Congrats on getting so much accomplished!
