The Writer's A-Z Challenge by L. Diane Wolfe

Last month, L. Diane Wolfe issued her A-Z writer's challenge. That's 26 daily challenges designed to broaden the writer's horizons and leave them with ideas to sharpen their skills. Diane was gracious enough to allow me to repost the link to her challenge.

This was one of my favorite series. If you missed it, then check out the links below. It's a great exercise to go through. For each challenge, Diane explains the importance of the challenge to the writer and then gives her advice on how to make the most of it. My thanks to Diane for the series and for allowing me to post the links here.

I enjoyed the Challenge and Diane's blog was one of my favorite stops. She always has something informative, fun, or insightful to share.

Hilary, I have bookmarked this post myself! Diane's challenges are great. In fact, I have revisited them more than once myself. They are great exercises to revisit often.

Blog Praise

"Tony's Blog has been a valuable resource to me as I got started marketing my first nationally published book. I subscribe to the rss feed and always gain something new from each post. It is as if I am enrolled in a marketing class for new authors on line. Tony's posts are always written in easy to understand terms and he gives step by step instructions. If you are a new author or wanting to become one, I highly recommend you follow Tony's advice and subscribe to his blog. You will not regret it. It's like taking a course for free!"- Dawn Stephens, Author and Illustrator, The Little Pot Series

What people are saying about our free marketing video tips

Let me just tell you... Your archive tip on linking a photo to another page where people can buy your book was so incredibly helpful and amazingly clear that you now have a real fan. SO smart to take away the fear that so many have of HTML. I followed it to the letter and posted a link on my blog today. Have a look. It's all because of you.
