I’m pleased to announce that #InkRipples will be back in 2017 with a brand new set of topics! #InkRipples is a monthly meme created by Kai Strand, Mary Waibel, and Katie L. Carroll. We’re all authors, but you don’t have to be to participate.
The idea of #InkRipples is to toss a word, idea, image, whatever into the inkwell and see what kind of ripples it makes. We provide the topics and will be blogging about them on the first Monday of the month. I often post on the topic on subsequent Mondays as well. You can spread your own ripples by blogging about the topic any day of the month that fits your schedule, just be sure to include links back to the three of us please (Katie, Kai, and Mary).
Or you can simply share your thoughts on social media using the hashtag #InkRipples. You might comment on one of our posts to pay along. Tag us and we’re always happy to share your posts and thoughts to keep those ripples going and intersecting.
There is no wrong way to do #InkRipples (with the exception of following basic human decency!). It’s about having a conversation, sharing ideas, and connecting. So if this sounds at all interesting, please do participate in whatever way you can. And feel free to use any of the meme’s images above or below (created by the wonderful Mary Waibel).
The 2017 topics are:
January – Book covers
February – Genres
March – Tropes
April – Revision
May – Fairy Tales
June – Blurbs
July – Heroes/Villains
August – Author Options in Publishing
September – World Building
October – Career vs Hobby
November – Finishing that Book!
December – Goals
I received an email from Kai about this and need to reply! Love your posts 🙂
Thanks, Meradeth! We’d love to have you post any month you feel inspired by our topcis. 🙂
This is an awesome idea and I’d love to participate! I’ll probably do the second Monday of each month.
That sounds great, Dianna! Excited to read your posts next year.
What a cool idea! I love it! Thanks!
Hope you join the conversation next year! Thanks for stopping by.
I’m looking forward to a new year with more participants and all sorts of view points. I really, really love different view points.
Me too, Kai! There seems to be a bit of buzz about it. I’m excited for some new voices.
Some interesting topics for 2017. Count me in.
Excellent, Beverly! Looking forward to your always insightful posts in 2017.
