Today at My Pet Blog, we’re all about the coming attractions. Here’s what’s on tap:
First off, it’s time to hit the campaign trail (no, not that one…) with Rachael Harrie’s fourth Writers’ Platform-Building Campaign. This campaign is a fantastic way to connect with other writers, bloggers, and maybe even some industry people. I participated in the second campaign (back when it was still a crusade and not a campaign) and found lots of great people through it. I missed the third campaign but I’m back for the fourth. This particular campaign runs from now until March 17th. Sign ups close on February 15th and the first challenge will be posted on February 20th.
It’s easy and a lot of fun. If you haven’t done a campaign yet, you should definitely consider it. Head over to Rachael’s blog (links above…even the picture is a link!) for all the details…
Second, we have Arlee Bird’s A to Z Challenge. This takes place in April and is an absolutely HUGE blogfest. The idea is to post the letter of the alphabet every day during the month of April (with Sundays off for good behavior), starting with A on April 1st. Last year, around 1200 bloggers participated and so far this year, 500 have signed up and it’s only February.
Last year was my first go of it and I had an absolutely great time. It was very entertaining and occasionally exhausting but such a fun way to (again) connect with other bloggers. And as soon as May rolled around, I started thinking about topics for next year’s challenge. I’m still working on that list. If you have any suggestions, let me know…
Happy Blogging, all.
