There are several monthly challenges coming up in November, including #NaNoWriMo (Novel Writing), #NaPodPoMo (Podcasting), and #NaBloPoMo (Blogging). To help you prepare, #GoalChat will cover each of these topics in October … after the weekly check in to share wins and tweet goals, of course. Join us for #GoalChat every Sunday at 7pm PT on Twitter. To get a reminder, RSVP for October chats. And read the recaps on Twitter Moments.
Share monthly and weekly goals on the Facebook Page and/or Group. And post your October Goals to be entered in a drawing to win a book from Michael Wiese Productions.
