Do You Want to Write 12 Picture Books in 12 Months? | Learn More!

12 x 12 November 2019 Check-In!

Hello everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow American friends. Regardless where you are in the world though, I’m grateful for you all. What an amazing challenge year it’s been, and we have one month left to go! I did revise this month, but didn’t get a new draft done. But here is my pledge to you: I want to finish this year, and this decade strong. No matter if you’ve written 20+ drafts this year or none so far, let’s all try to get one written in this last month of the year and the decade. Whatever has happened in your challenge so far, the one thing we all have left is this last month. Let’s make the most of it!

What about you?

Tell us your progress. Did you complete a draft and/or revision in November? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. November Featured Author Lisa Rogers is offering a choice to this month’s winner: a copy of her book 16 WORDS: WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS AND “THE RED WHEELBARROW or a picture book manuscript critique!

  1. I’ve been wanting to read this book, but my library said they can’t order it. Fingers crossed for the giveaway!

  2. Hard to believe we are already nearing the end of the year again. This time of year can get frantic fast, so I hope everyone takes the time for self-care as well. Do things that relax you, too and make you happy.
    Cheers!

  3. I **love** Julie’s pledge and the challenge for each of us to get One! Last! Draft! written this month. I accept! As for November, no new draft (boo), but one ms revised (yay)!
