#Reverb11 starts tomorrow!
For those of you who are unfamiliar with #Reverb, it's an annual writing initiative that consists of one post per day, one chance to reflect on what happened in the last 365, one chance to write the story of the next 365.
This year's initiative had a bit of bumpy start, with a change in leadership and the community as a whole (there were more than 5,000 participants last year) shuffling to see how it would all take shape. But that's neither here nor there now, what is here is a shovel for digging around your rough edges, a chance to shake up your own internal snow globe, and a way to hitch your hopes and New Year's wishes to the hopes and wishes of others as they tumble forward into the great unknown. We all write about different things during #Reverb, but I like to think that by writing together, all at once, all of us in rhythm, we lift those wishes right up to the heavens like a feather or a leaf or a speck of dust riding high on a current of warm air.
I'll be following these two sites for prompts, inspiration, and camarderie: KaileenElise.com and Geekin' Hard. I hope you'll join us and share your own prompts as well! (If you do, don't forget to send them into the Twitterverse with #reverb11 as the hashstag so we can find you.)
Happy Reverbing! :)
Can't wait to read all of this goodness.

ABIGAIL!!! So good to "see" you .. I can't wait to read your prompts this year!!
Streetlights, thanks! I'm so super excited for reverb, and want to make sure the word gets spread and that no one who wants to participate gets lost in the shuffle. :)

Writing together, all of us, is why I'm doing it, even though the prompts aren't all the same anymore. (I love that it means I can avoid topics that I don't have a good answer for!)
Big hugs to you. So, so, so glad to know there will be a month full of posts from you.
