Let’s Reverb!

All month long I was looking forward to receiving my first Reverb11 prompt in my e-mail inbox on Dec. 1. Then last night I learned that wasn’t going to happen. Gwen Bell, one of the Reverb creators, sent a message to all of us reverbers saying she wouldn’t be hosting #Reverb11 this year. The party was over. And I was heartbroken, but only for a few seconds. 


In her email Gwen Bell encouraged us to start Reverb11 projects of our own and so I decided to do just that. 


For those of you wondering what the heck is a Reverb, let me explain. It started last year as Reverb10. We participating bloggers received a prompt each day in December that encouraged us to reflect on the past year and manifest great things for the year to come. 


So I spent some time today coming up with 31 prompts. If you’re a blogger I hope you will join me, answer these questions for yourself (one each day or perhaps just a few over the course of the month if you prefer) and post your reflections on your blog and then copy a link to your post in the comments section of my posts (which will be over at my other blog The Writeous Babe Project) so I can read what you have to say. And be sure to tweet your posts too using the hashtag #reverb11. 


Happy reverbing!
