Write On Wednesday – Writing Love, Post Goals & More

Why do you love to write? Read what some of our community had to say and chime in the writing love roundup.

Post your February Goals on Write On Online or Facebook and be entered in a drawing to win a book from Michael Wiese Productions.

FEBRUARY CONTEST: Win With Write On: Focus in February. Pick a project – either something you already started or on a new idea. Then, complete it and report back. To help focus your time, I recommend scheduling an hour or two appointment on your calendar each week, and work (without distractions) to get it done! Details and project-suggestions here.
