Hello, Hello! Spring has finally sprung here in CO, and I have taken advantage of the longer days. I sprung myself out of a writing rut, took myself off on a self-made writing retreat and, I’m happy to report, both revised AND wrote a new draft this month. Woo hoo! Plus, my agent says the draft I revised is very close to ready to go out on submission. It feels like ages since I’ve gotten this much writing done. Now comes the summer slump. LOL!

What about you? Did you complete a draft and/or revision in May? 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. May Featured Author Rebecca Gardyn Levington is offering a 30-min Ask-Me-Anything Zoom to one lucky 12 x 12 member! Thank you, Rebecca! 

Here’s what you need to do to check in for a chance to win:

Here’s a video tutorial on the forum to walk you through these steps as well. Click here for the monthly check-in tutorial. (This tutorial features the old 12 x 12 website, but the steps are still the same for entering the Rafflecopter.)
