The Third Annual Platform-Building Campaign is officially underway, and I successfully nabbed a space (not shocking, seeing as how I wrote it on my calendar when I ran across it months ago, possibly during the A to Z Challenge).
If you're not sure what the Platform-Building Campaign is, it's a blog hop designed to connect writers to other writers, while building their platforms at the same time. As anyone who has participated in a blog hop can likely attest, though, it's the forging of relationships that is most valuable. You can check out the campaign at Rach Writes. This campaign was created by the wonderful Rachael Harrie.
To my fellow campaigners, I write YA Dystopian Fantasy and Adult Urban Fantasy, as well as horror short stories and even some poetry when the mood strikes. This blog is about my experiences writing and, ultimately (hopefully), the path to publication and my personal experiences with it. My blogging schedule is basically: Monday-writing, Teaser Tuesday, [Mostly] Wordless Wednesday, Thursday-writing and Feature Friday. I reply to everyone in the comment section and visit you back. Sometimes it may not be the same day, though.
If you haven't signed up for this campaign (I know I saw a few of you!), check it out. I hear only positive things about it from those who have previously participated. And for those already on the campaign trail...welcome!
May you find your Muse.

Love the Blog Hop idea, but I screwed up! My first link (#58) was wrong, so I added it correctly (#59). Sorry!

Hi, I'm in the MG/YA campaign group. Just checked in to say hello. I'm from Germany where I have several published stories. A while ago I started writing in English and now, I'm looking toward self-publishing. Let's find out how it'll work for me.

Lori, I'm that way about mystery. Enjoy reading it, but have no real desire to write it.
So I see you write urban fantasy. So do I, technically speaking. Tell me a little bit about what you do in that genre!
Tiger, I've just started on a novel about a shifter mercenary. What do you (technically) do in UF?
Power to you on the campaign trail! :)
Looking forward to seeing you in this Campaign. :)
Good luck on the Campaign! I keep trying to make up my mind whether or not to join, I'm afraid I will end up overwhelmed, but it does seem like a fabulous opportunity. I hope you will enjoy it!!

Mark, thank you!
Golden Eagle, and you, as well! I think I've already seen you commenting around.
Julie, I was thinking the same thing but ended up going for it, anyway. So far, there are only 3 campaigns and the rest of it is whatever you choose to do.
Jules, hi! I got through two groups and then got lazy for a couple days, but I'm back to go through all of them.
Inluvwithwords, hello! I haven't made it to the short story group yet, but can't wait!

HI fellow campaigner! I'm in the short stories group. I look forward to getting to know you and your blog throughout the next few weeks. PS-I love that you write horror (mostly because I love to read horror). I haven't written an effective thriller/scary story yet, but I'll be looking to your blog for inspiration.
