52 Weeks in Review 2017 challenge #MFRWAuthor

Last week I gave some statistics about the Marketing for Romance Writers 52-week blog challenge. This week I summarize the heart of the challenge--the topics. When I first thought about participating, I wasn't sure about being about to do 52 posts, let alone the topics.

Some of the posts were easy, simple lists of things. Others were more challenging, especially with the consideration of writing something meaningful. Some of the posts were fun to share, others not so much. They were depressing as dreams that would never be fulfilled.

Then there were the subjects that were more personal than I care to reveal. I admit to being old school enough that I don't post my entire life on whatever is the social media site du jour. Experience with stalkers and identity theft also adds discretion to my reveals.

So how did I do as far as numbers?

Altogether 52 out of the 52 were posted. Yay! Pats self on the back. A glutton for punishment I'm back (at least part way) for 2018's challenge. But I've already decided I won't be doing every topic. Still be sure to follow my blog to be notified when I do jump in or follow the main hop list to the new posts.

Links to the 2017 posts by alphabetic topic are below. Again, congratulations to the other authors who participated. And to our readers I hope you enjoyed our revelations whether they be personal or about the writing life.

~till next time, Helen
