Thank you so so much for Storystorm, Tara. I can’t believe how many ideas I was able to come up with! Maybe that’s beginner’s luck? But I’ll be leveraging these ideas for years! (And adding to them next January.) And many many thanks to the bloggers who shared such amazing and inspiring tips. I learned so much!

Thank you Tara & all of the amazing post contributors. This has been a crazed few months for me, and I frankly wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to read any of the posts or come up with any ideas. If you look at when I started posting comments regularly, you’ll see I had a LOT of catching up to do last week. But I was inspired, managed to read the posts & brainstorm 30+ ideas, and even managed to write pitches for 3 and send them to my trusted CPs for comment.

Thanks for investing your time and knowledge into other authors. I look forward to Storystorm and hearing from so many authors. I glean so much more than story ideas, although my list excites me every year, from reading about others’ journeys, struggles, and successes. Storystorm is an aspiring author’s golden ticket for a ride on the creative express.

I noticed I signed this pledge but my comment isn’t there. I think it linked to Word Press or whatever it’s called but I thought I had signed it so looked all thru and didn’t see my name. So then I saw that we could also reply to this email to do it which is great. Thank yoh. Now I wonder however if the same thing may have happened at the first of the month when I signed the initial pledge. Thank you no matter. I pledge to have lots of ideas… more than 30! Take a rest now….when yoh can.

So many ideas! This is truly the BEST way to start the year. I wrote words, phrases, titles, beginnings, and a few new picture book manuscripts this month. Thank you, Tara, for organizing this amazing challenge.

This year’s Storystorm posts were incredible. I laughed out loud with some, moved deeply with others, lit on fire with some, and challenged with others. But the main ingredient with all thirty-one posts, is that I learned something invaluable from all of them. Thank you to all of the contributing writers and to Tara for hosting, once again, such a powerful and energizing new year’s blog!

Thank you so much Tara, for this extra motivation and format to keep me on track. So much better than New Year’s Resolutions! Now to just let the new ideas float around in my head, you never know what they may become. I really appreciate that I have them to mull over!
