I've never been so excited to see the month of May! I'm pretty sure I'm going to rest today. Oh wait, can't do that because My Name Is Not Bob had us make a schedule for the month of May and I don't think I included rest. What was I thinking? Somebody in the MNINB group mentioned adding rest to the schedule. Great idea. Think I'll change my schedule.
Robert Brewer put a lot of us through the ringer and back with his April Platform Challenge. If anyone wants to know something about how to build a platform, I suggest you take a look at My Name Is Not Bob or just take a look at the blog anyway, there's a wealth of information for writers.
Do you think the term "through the ringer and back" is referring to the old days when you washed your clothes and put them through the ringer to rinse them? Mom, you did laundry like that. I remember thinking when I was little that if I was put through the ringer, I'd be flat as a pancake just like cartoon characters. Right now, my brain feels flat.
I'm glad I took the challenge, but I'm also glad it is over... well sort of... I think it has just begun. I've connected with a lot of different writers in this MNINB and what's not to love about that?
For completing the challenge, my name will be in a drawing to win this:
I'll keep you posted on the winner.

your twitter account is insane... you're a regular 21st century digital woman. dang!
ReplyDeleteand yeah, i think you're right about through the ringer and back. seems pretty straightforward.
Wait, I'm confused. Again. What is WNINB? Is that like HFFF?!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Lynn, I really enjoyed your posts pop up in my Google Reader!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how well you do with challenges like this. You should try my photo challenge one of these months ;-)
MNINB stands for My Name Is Not Bob - the name of Robert's blog that hosted the April Platform Challenge. My head is still spinning from that challenge and I'm still trying to catch up with all my other stuff. Thanks everyone for your comments.
ReplyDeleteEstrella, I'd love to do the photo challenge, however, I'm going to have to wait awhile. I'll check it out to see how often you do it.
Hi Lynn, glad you made it through the challenge and thanks for all your comments on my blog. :) Man, you bombard me with them - so much fun to read them all at once. Like getting candy and beads at a Mardi Gras parade. Throw me something, Mister... I mean, Lynn! Okay, I'm being silly. I've been trying to write like crazy after finishing the A to Z Challenge but I WILL get you a letter in the mail. I so enjoyed your little miniature letter even though I had to put my reading glasses on AND grab a magnifying glass. ha, just kidding. You always make me smile with the things you come up with. Hope all is going well with everything you wrote about.
ReplyDeleteI think about you every day!
