Writer's Platform Building Campaign


Just in case I didn't have enough to do with my time, I've added this little challenge!

In the words of Rachael Harrie, the host of this event, "[The] Writers' Platform-Building Campaigns are ways to link writers, aspiring authors, beginner bloggers, industry people, and published authors together with the aim of helping to build our online platforms.

The Campaigners are all people in a similar position, who genuinely want to pay it forward, make connections and friends within the writing community, and help build each others' online platforms while at the same time building theirs."

So, in addition to bathing my children and getting the second novel done, my free "alone" time will be spent doing this. I really need to cancel cable!

  2. Hi There :D

    I'm in the Dystopian category with you. I look forward to working together to build online platforms and getting to know fellow writers :D

    I second the DVR comment, although you'll need a HUGE one!

  5. Hi, Sarah.

    I'm a fellow campaigner and new follower.

    I stopped watching TV long ago. I blame my online activity.

  6. Yeah. There's definitely zero time for TV now that I've joined the campaign!

    Oh, and Hi!

  7. Oh, you just need a DVR. That's how I get in all my TV-watching.

    And I'm in your dystopian group! *waves*

  8. Just a heads up, I have set up a Google Reader with all of Dystopian Group 22 in it to help organize all of our blogs - I am missing 1 person (technical issues I am trouble shooting) but hope to get them added in soon! Link is:

  10. Although I watch less and less tv I would never want to be completely without it. Besides, there are still this handful of series that I like to follow. And while doing that I can deal with mails etc., which means I have my head free when it's time to write ;)

  11. Oh, my goodness. I know what you mean about the lack of time! But it's for a good reason. I think getting really "into" the writing/blogging world will be great.

    Anyway, hi from a fellow Post-Apoc/Dystopian campaigner!

  12. Great to have you as part of the campaign! Looking forward to getting to know you. :-)

  13. Hulu and Netflix, yo. I don't remember the last time the TV was on since Hulu and Netflix. Maybe during season premiers and finales, but otherwise...yep.

    Fellow dystopian/post-apocalyptic campaigner dropping in to say hi!

  14. Hi Sarah,
    You can't cancel cable because the kids will go crazy! Believe me, we've tried it.

  17. Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm in your Dystopian group. (I'm a little late getting around and introducing myself, though.) This Campaign will be a ton of fun. :)
