#MarchOfTheWriters

During the month of February, I have to say that I’ve had a blast doing Dahlia Adler’s #AuthorLifeMonth2020 prompts. They were varied and fun and in case you missed it (or her for that matter), check out @MissDahlELama on Twitter and Instagram or check out my Instagram account for several of the posts I shared. 

Since it was so fun for me I said, why not keep the party going? So here’s my humble contribution to the Writing Community: #MarchOfTheWriters. In case this is your first time doing one of these, here’s how it works: Every day there’s a prompt. You take a picture and share on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram and use the hashtag #MarchOfTheWriters. 

As for the prompts, below I’ll offer some brief explanations to each prompt, but keep an eye out on my Instagram for brief videos talking about each prompt. If you have any question, by all means, ask in the comment section or write me in your preferred social media platform.

1. Hello, my name is: This is your introduction to fellow authors and future readers. Do it in picture, book, or video form. 

2. Writing Nook: Do you have a writing desk or a preferred writing spot? Share it with us!

3. If you were a car…: What is a car that you think represents you? It could be real or fictional. 

4. Business card: do you have a business card? Pimp it out. Need advice or feedback on your card? Share it and let’s help each other out. 

5. Your published works: you can go all bookstagram or just hold up your book for us to see. 

6. How does writing feel? Describe how writing makes you feel. It could be empowered, worried, in a rush, or whatever.
