My friend and fellow author, JD Estrada has a lovely event every March called March of the Writers and this year I am playing along again. What is March of the Writers?
From JDs blog: “March of the Writers is a month-long event where you will have a prompt per day. The idea is for you to post on your preferred social media platform, newsletter, blog, or what have you and let readers and fellow authors get to know you a bit better.”
Below I’ll share the posts that I have done so far, and will come back later to add new ones as we get closer to the end of March.
