Despite being writers, blogging is an entirely different style of writing and often stumps us.&amp;nbsp;To help our authors blog consistently, thoughtfully and with purpose, Marketing for Romance Writers is announcing the 2020 Blog Challenge. Each week, authors use our writing prompt to create a meaningful blog post. We'll be posting every Friday... join us as often as possible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;All authors with blogs are welcome to participate. It's very simple!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sign up in the comments below to commit to the challenge.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Copy the badge onto your blog's sidebar. Share it on your social media networks. Be sure to link it back to this page.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write your weekly blog post based on the given prompt. Use #MFRWauthor in your title, and be original - don't use "week 2 of 52-week challenge" because that is not unique and won't drive readers to your post.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make it easier for other bloggers to share your post by writing your blog title in third person or adding your name versus using "I", "me," "my" or "mine." (e.g., Instead of putting "What I learned from my worst review," say something like "What one snarky romance writer learned from her worst review."&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Return to the MFRW Marketing Blog weekly to add your blog post to the linky list. This will be available each Tuesday for that week's posts.
