This month is KiwiWriters Birthday Month and to celebrate, we are bringing back the KiwiWriters Blogging Week.
Do you have your own blog? Then spend a week blogging about writing. If you don't have a blog, don't worry, just check out some of the blogs that our members have, and blog in the KiwiWriters Blogging Week forum. Or find yourself a blogsite and start one.
So what can you blog about? KiwiWriters, writing in NZ, how KiwiWriters helped you, what you have learnt about writing, what you want to learn about yourself through writing, pretty much your own imagination will limit you.
You only have to blog once or twice, but can you blog for an entire week about writing??? Well? Can you?

Anniversary Showcase
Welcome to 2012 - we have a feeling it's going to be a wonderful year! February is drawing close, and we just wanted to remind you about the showcase we'll be holding for our 5th birthday. An opportunity to share what you are working on, and promote your writing.
We're looking for short stories, ranging from 1-3,000 words, with a theme of connections (because that's what we're all about, here at KW). These pieces will be released throughout the month of February, to be compiled into an e-book at the end of the month. A creative commons licence will be attached to all the workds showcased, so that all rights remain with you, the author.
We've extended the deadline until January 31st, and have decided to open the guidelines up a bit to those with published works that they would like to promote. If you have a novel, or short story out, why not consider sending us a 500 word (approximate) excerpt to share with your fellow Kiwi Writers?
So, if you have something new to share, or something published, please send these through to kiwiwriters@gmail.com as rtf files, with Kiwi Writers Showcase in the subject line. We look forward to hearing from you!
Create A Challenge
Kiwi Writers came about because of a challenge - National Novel Writing Month. A group of us met during November, 2006, and had so much fun that we decided we didn't want that feeling to fade. Not long after, Kiwiwriters.org was born, and with it, a love of challenges.
So with that in mind, we thought it was fitting to celebrate our 5th birthday by giving you, our members, a chance to create your very own challenge!
Here's what you need to know: your challenge should be between 2-7 days long, with a word count that isn't too high (about 1k a day is within most peoples reach), and should have some unique elements - something different from the regular ones we run. Think outside the square!
Email your challenge ideas to us at kiwiwriters@gmail.com with the words [Challenge Idea] in the subject line, before the 31st of January. On the 1st of February we will post the ideas to kiwiwriters.org and voting will commence! The winning challenge will be revealed in the third week of February, with the challenge being held in the second week of March.
We can't wait to see what you come up with!
