Hi everyone!!!  Ready to write???  Have writer's block?  Need some ideas to jump start your brain?  Well..Every 2nd Wed of each month, I post a new writing challenge.  I also give a list of sites that pay for submitted articles.  Most of the sites I will include are very welcoming to newbie writers.....so get your computer revved up, start writing and get published!!!! :-)  If you would like to share your work with us and you have submitted it to one of the writing sites please leave a link in the comments below.  Let me know if it's ok to Tweet or Facebook your article...would love to send some traffic your way! 
The Challenge this month is one that I think anyone who is lucky enough to spend time with children will enjoy!  


Write about the funny things that the children in your life have said or done.
  
Have fun!  For some inspiration.....here's a few articles I've written about my kids...they really gave me some great material to work with!!  Seriously....sometimes reality is funnier than anything you can make up!!! :-)
