30-Exact IDEAS, 30-Plus Potential PBs

December 3, 2013

I DID it!

Got my 30 ideas in the piboidmo2013-winnerbadge-700x700month of November thanks to the challenge by Tara Lazar and the cheering of 30+ guest writers/illustrators as well as hundreds of fellow authors.

PiBoIdMo was again a boon to creativity in my writing life.  I focused my ideas this year on early readers, with one character, but dozens of ideas may come from this character’s adventures, and other ideas, as in past years, will be generated.

But BETTER than the ideas I listed, are the multiple lessons I learned about creativity through this month from guest bloggers.   Their advice and experience combined to make PiBoIdMo a course worthy of college credit, and the ideas are there forever to recall, to review, to incorporate into my writing journey.

Tara Lazar has equipped us again to sail into the wild blue yonder and write free into the future!  Thanks Tara, and this wonderful writing community, for a rich month of inspiration.

    That’s so terrific! Congrats. I didn’t do the challenge this year. Too many others in the way. 🙂

        Too many, I sometimes think. And I do have such trouble passing on any of them. 🙂
