ReviMo History: Summer 2013, I had a rough draft file FULL of (poopy) stories. I was writing (poopy) drafts and revising each month with Julie Hedlund's 12x12 Picture Book Challenge. I'd written 7 (poopy, noticing a trend here? :D ) drafts in 7 days with Paula Yoo's NaPiBoWriWee I was gearing up for Tara Lazar's PiBoIdMo, when I had a thought; someone needs to do a revision challenge. My next thought was, why not me? And so ReviMo was born...
This year I'm hoping that ReviMo will be just as inspiring and exciting, but I'm going to work smarter not harder as I seem to have less time, all the time. I think we all know how THAT goes!
I've been so blessed in my writing journey. I've met a lot of supportive, kind and generous souls along the way. Thanks kid lit peeps!
Good stuff coming up:
Tara Lazar's PiBoIdMo, Picture Book Idea Month (coming up in November!)
AND ChaBooCha Lite, Chapter Book Challenge starting TODAY! Best of luck ChaBoCha'ers!
Hope you'll join us for ReviMo!

Sounds great. I didn't make it last year but hope to do so this year. The link is up on KL411.

Awesome, I am looking forward to it, Meg!
YOU LOVELY PEOPLE!!! Thanks for the great responses. :D There would be NO ReviMo without all of you. Looking forward to it!
I'll be there! Can't wait!
This sounds fun! Since I'm part of 12 x 12 this year, I might actually have something to revise by then!
