12 complete picture book drafts. 12 months. 2012. Are you with me?

Julie Hedlund set this challenge in her November 30, 2011 blog post -- 12 x 12 in 2012. It took me until January to accept. The commitment is to write a picture book draft (not a submission-ready piece) each month during 2012. The only criteria -- each participant does his or her best to meet this timetable.

I'm very intrigued by this opportunity and I hope you will be also. Check out the 'Official Participant' link to Julie Hedlund's blog. There's a simple form that each participant is asked to complete and submit online, plus information on monthly giveaways and guest posts. I hope you decide to take the plunge!
