Spring into Writing Contest!
I need some help getting the word out about Spring into Writing. The winner will be chosen at random, but the more you help out the more entries you’ll get!
It costs me a lot of money to run my blog events and for web hosting. I really need a bit of help! One way you can help me out is buying a printed planner! You can get this planner for here: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/690724515/pre-order-for-spring-into-writing
The Planner is spiral bound and the cover is printed in color. It has a plastic protective cover and I’ll sign & write a note inside the book.

Writing Challenge Updates!
Working on getting things in order for the writing challenge. Here’s some things you should know! Sign up for the writing challenge here: http://ngi.c96.myftpupload.com/register-for-the-writing-challenge/
1. Name That Writing Challenge: I’ve already asked for names for the challenge. You can vote on names here (or add your own): https://www.facebook.com/groups/548159692008535/permalink/1363992383758591/
2. Booklets I’m going to set the price for the booklet back to $12 as it was for the original. I don’t believe the cost of printing will be much more than the last event. The total cost will be $15 USD. The whole book will be free to download and use during the event. This will give you a nice spiral-bound book to work in, and help me keep my site running! https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/DaniDuckArt
It takes about 2 weeks for the booklet to get to people in the states, so please be sure to order early!
3. Smart Dummies Instagram I will be shutting down my Smart Dummies Challenge Instagram account. It’s taking way too much of my time to run it and I don’t think it’s getting to enough people to be useful. I would much rather use my time for other event related things!
4. Other Things
-
-
-
- There will be an advertising contest soon in which you can win a booklet for the event.
- I hope I can get one or two proof readers for the booklet!
- The goal is to have fun, but wondering if we should have a more specific goal.
- I believe I have 9-10 guests planned for the event. Please feel free to reach out to me if you want to be a guest. I’m waiting to hear back on a few people and don’t want to send out too many more emails!

I will address all of these other things in separate posts, but feel free to ask about any of these in the comments! Sign up for the writing challenge here:

Writing Challenge Update
This weekend I’m working hard to get all my ducks in order for the big writing event. (sign up for the
event is here: http://ngi.c96.myftpupload.com/register-for-the-writing-challenge/ The main thing I’m doing is gathering names and asking people to join as guests. This is my least favorite part of the event process.Yes, I’ve done a lot of event planning in the past for Smart Dummies, but asking people to join only gets slightly easier. I’m over the fear of people yelling at me about the event, but asking is still hard. Even when people are friends. Especially when the people I am asking are friends. I love you all and I hope I’m not annoying!
I’m still looking for names for the challenge. If you have a name feel free to add it below!
