How many days will you write in February?

Take the #KidLitWriMo challenge and write 30 minutes a day in February, the shortest month of the year.

Q. How many days will you write this month?
A. It’s up to you! If you write everyday, log in each day and let us know. If you only write on the weekdays, log in Monday – Friday instead.

Q. What is the goal?
A. The goal is to tally your daily writing time.

Q. When can I start?
A. Now. Log in to Facebook and ask to join the private KidLitWriMo group. After I see your request, I can add you to the group. Then Facebook will send you a message saying that you are now a member of KidLitWriMo.

I look forward to writing with you in KidLitWriMo!
