January Snow: Monthly Wrap-Up & Update

Picture this: A night that is dry, bare, cold, and raw. Everything is bleak, and black. A single flake of snow falls to the ground and dissolves because it is alone. More flakes fall slowly, lingering in the air, hesitant to drop onto the cold, cold ground. The wind picks up, helping the flakes fall faster as more come down. Morning breaks to glimmering snow making everything pure.

This is how Rebellious Writing has grown! All of YOU are like snowflakes, each one beautiful and different! The RW movement is the wind, gently encouraging you to make books pure, clean, and where we gasp in wonder at their beauty. We thank you so much for landing on the ground, because one person couldn't do it alone!

Happy 2018 from the Rebellious Writing team! In the five months that we have been up and running, a lot of snow has fallen!

Also, we really appreciate...

Guest Post Featuring Ivie Brooks: Clean Writing Doesn't Equal Censorship
The awesome Ivie who is a great supporter of RW, had a guest post about how RW is not censorship. She showed how your character can be the character you want them to be, without actually having all that junk. Thank you so much, Ivie! We really appreciate it!
