PS-There's a party going on!

Just want to let you know that Julie Hedlund http://www.juliehedlund.com/2012/12/12/121212-blog-party/ , is hosting a blog party for all the participants of the 12x12-2012 challenge.  So her deal, 'if you choose to accept it', is to write 12 picture books during the year. Seems simple enough, huh?!? Well, it may be for you, but it didn't happen for me. Not quite twelve anyway.
  I need to be boosted, primed and poked to keep up with the writing. If I'm not held accountable, I could turn into a slacker. Julie helps me, well maybe sticks me, to keep at it. Who can refuse, when there's a celebration party as a reward! "I did it. I did it!" Dance, dance, dance!
    No excuses friends, you can do it too. Tara Lazar, PiBoIdMo offers reward, gifts, guests, through the month of November and keeps us excited to jot a picture book idea a day. With all the activity on her blog, how can there be excuses not to at least jot. Then, I grab the jotting notebook and move right over to Julie's blog.
   One more important thing for me, my critique buddies. I wouldn't be celebrating anything without them. If you don't have a buddy or a group of them, I really think that you should think about it.
   Gotta go now...it's party time!

    Congratulations on the manuscripts that you managed to write this year! It is still more than you would have done without 12 x 12 so I consider it a win!

    We all need nudges every now and then, especially when it comes to procrastinating with our writing! So glad you stuck with it. Congratulations on writing more than you would without the group. And thanks for the contribution you've made to 12 x 12 AND for partying with us! :-)

    Yay you! Every manuscript created is one more potential book that will bring joy to some child's heart, so we celebrate every one of them. So glad you're part of our group.

    I didn't complete 12 either Mona, but even finishing one MS is a big achievement in my book. Way to go!

    Mona, it's more than you had before, and that's what counts. Looking forward to writing alongside each other in 2013!
