Starting Off the Year with Exercise--A Writing One

New Years is a time for new goals and new projects.  This year I will be participating in Start the Year Off Write: 21 days of 21 writing exercises.  The challenge is for children's writers of all sorts: picture book, middle grade, and young adult.  And, get this: there is even a prize for completing each day's exercise: the chance to win a critique by an editor, an agent, or a copy editor.  Definitely worth trying.

What I hope to gain: an incite into my novels that I didn't have before.  Sometimes it just takes looking at something a little different to get that a-ha moment.

So I hope you'll join me--it's only 21 days out of your life but might give you that new-year jump start you need.
