I write articles on writing, marketing, blogging, organising, social media, books and some random stuff. I also create free printable resources. If you find my content helpful, entertaining and like what I do, consider supporting me on ko-fi (where you will also find extra content I post). All donations go to keeping my website running and helping me move towards publishing my novels.

Hi Ari-
What a great idea! I’d love to join this project if my genre’s ok! I’m deep in the packing/moving craziness (one more month until we hit the road, and during that time we’re re-roofing, removing a chimney, and all sorts of ‘fun’) but a November project sounds terrific.
Here’s my blog link: https://thenaptimeauthor.wordpress.com/
Hi Anne, I would love to have you in the project, I’ve added you to the list.
I’ll be in touch soon with the theme. 🙂
Good luck with “in the moving trenches” I do not envy you all that. 🙂
Hooray! Thanks Ari.
Hi I’m interested 🙂 but I will be moving my old blog from WordPress to Webflow but I’ll contact you as soon as I have a link to my new blog.
Perfect, if you want to use my contact page on my blog to send me your email address I can keep you informed about the project (your date / the theme etc) via email and when you get your new blog, you can email me the link 🙂
Hey Ari,
This sounds like so much fun. I’m totally down if you still have room. ^_^

Thank you bunches, Airicka
Thanks for reaching out, I’ve put your name down, however when I click your website nothing comes up. Can you double check the link?
I was intrigued by the title already but every new line of the post made me more and more excited. What a great idea! I think you gave great guidelines but not too many constraints. And, I love the amount of time you gave the potential participants. I think even I should be able to do one.
You seem to have a lot of interest already, but if there’s a spot, count me in.

Hi Goldie, that is great! I’ve added you to the list, glad to have you onboard. I’ll be in touch with the theme.
This sounds fun, Ari. I want to write more short fiction so this sounds like the perfect idea to take part in. I hope it goes well.
Hi Suzanne, thanks for reaching out. I’ve added you to the list! 🙂 I’ll be in touch soon.
This sounds so cool and I hope it goes well! 🙂 I’d love to do it, but I don’t know if a story will come to me. My brain’s not been in creative mode much recently with all that’s been happening, plus I’m terrible at writing short stories, when I get a story idea it balloons into epic novel length, lol😅🤦♀️
lol I know the feeling, when I was first asked about writing short stories it was like hahahaha.. no! How can I condense a story?
But it was pretty fun and I’ve definitely gotten better.
If it works out well, I may run this again next year so maybe you’ll feel ready then 😀
This sounds like a fun project to get into.
Thanks Robert, just checking, are you wanting to participate? I do have a few slots still open.
Reblogged this on NEW BLOG HERE >> https:/BOOKS.ESLARN-NET.DE.
Thanks for the reblog 🙂
Sounds excellent. I would definitely be up for this. Have written some flash fiction before too. My blog is https://harveycd.wordpress.com
Hi Chris, that’s great. I’ll add you to the list.
I am afraid i don’t have a blog at the moment.
Never mind, Mark. If it goes well, I may run this project again next year so if you have a blog then, you could already join us.
AA great idea! I would be interested. My blog is https://darlenefoster.wordpress.com/
Hi Darlene, that’s wonderful. I will add you to the list.
