Kristen Is Taking a Break for the Holidays

Even though I don’t personally celebrate holidays, I do close for busines on days that other businesses like my own are off. And that means that after this note today and all day tomorrow, I will be taking a brief vacation to recharge. Hopefully this will give me some fodder for new articles!

How are you spending your holidays? Leave a comment.

Wrapping Up the Fall Challenge and Looking Forward to the New Year’s Article Challenge in January!

Looking Forward to New Writing Success in 2008!Congratulations again to our winning Challengers! We are so proud of you, and we’re also proud of everyone who participated. Whether you wrote one article or 100, accepting the LK Fall Article Challenge was a step toward greater success in your writing career.

The winners will receive their Golden PJs via e-mail later this week. Because everything is so hectic with the holidays coming up, and because attendance has been low lately, we’re going to forgo the tele-ceremony this time around and instead do a KILLER kick-off for the New Year’s Article Challenge.

The next Challenge will kick off on January 17 and run through February 19, and you’ll be challenged to write 30 articles to earn a Golden PJs. But this time around, with so many experienced article marketers in the group, we’re going to emphasize the strategy behind article marketing and how you can monetize your efforts. And that, my lovelies, is the whole point! Writing articles is fun, but we want to get paid, too, not just write for free. :] We’ll help you figure out how to best use your existing and new articles to make some moolah and move your writing career forward.

You can expect article series on the blog, regular blog features, and focused, encouraging disucssion on our Yahoo! Group e-mail conversation list as an added bonus. Signing up will also net you an e-book version of the 21-Day Article Writing E-course, currently in production.

So use the sign-in box at the top of the screen to register for the New Year’s Article Challenge, and we’ll send you your e-book just as soon as it’s finished. And start thinking NOW about your writing goals for 2008. Suzanne and I are here to help you achieve them with the help of our awesome designated discussion list leader and co-blogger Hope Wilbanks and incredible article marketing expert Jeff Herring.

We can’t wait to help you reach your career goals next year! Enjoy your break, and don’t stop writing!

- Kristen
