I started participating in #MondayBlogs almost a year ago, and it’s done a great deal for my writing. It’s given me a deadline to crank out weekly writing, and anything that helps a writer is a good thing.
What is #MondayBlogs? It’s a meme developed by a friend of mine, Rachel Thompson about six years ago in an effort to build blog readership. Learn more here.
Rachel and I had been aggregating the MB tweets of the creatives at Gravity Imprint. Now that Gravity is going away due to the Booktrope shutdown, those posts are going away. I realized though that I still wanted a good way to share all the great posts I read on Mondays, so I’m going to gather them here each week.
Look for this post to go up every Monday evening. I hope you enjoy what you find here.
And Happy Birthday to guitarist Steve Katz of Blood, Sweat, and Tears (71) and Piano Man Billy Joel (69).
