Hello everyone! This month, as part of the Ch1Con 2015 Blog Tour, we here at Ch1Con are hosting the Teens Can Write, Too! blog chain for May. For more information about TCWT’s blog chain, check out this link.
The topic for this month, in honor of how conference-going helps us improve our skills, will be:
“What is your greatest weakness as a writer? What’s your greatest strength?”
We want to hear all about your strengths and weaknesses! I (Kira Budge) just recently became too old for the blog chain (*LE GASP*), but if I were to answer this, for example, I’d probably talk about how much I struggle with being detailed in my books but how good I am at writing a lot very quickly. In recognizing where our strengths and weaknesses lie, we all of us become equipped with the knowledge we need to become even better at our craft. And it’s also cool to compare where other community members fill in the gaps of your strengths! (Maybe you’ll find some good critique partners to balance you out in the process of this blog chain. Who knows?)
So to participate in this blog chain, please comment below with the dates you can do and a link to your blog. I will assign dates in the replies. I will also post the schedule on the Blog Chain page on TCWT, which was linked above. The chain, as always, will begin on the 5th.
Thanks so much for participating! We look forward to what you have to say. I’ve only been able to read a few of the posts from last month, but you guys brought out your sass, intelligence, and creativity in wonderful full force. 🙂 Good job and keep it up!

Chapter One Conference 
I keep seeing my friends doing this, and it seems cool, so I’ll try it for this month. 🙂 I can probably do just about any day after the 8th, though sometime mid-month will work best, I think.

Ooh, I’ll join! My blog URL is http://butterfliesoftheimagination.wordpress.com/. Can I do a date around the middle of the month?
How about the 19th?
That sounds good!
I’m in! Anything but the ninth, please.
How about you kick us off on the 5th? Does that seem feasible?
That would be great, thanks

If by random much, you mean *awesome* much! We just thought it worked out since we’re running our yearly blog tour right now and since we’re partners with TCWT. 🙂 I’ll get a date to you soon. Thanks for joining up!
All right, how does the 27th sound to you?
Awesome, thanks!
Okay . . . I haven’t joined the chain up till now but on this topic, YES. Can I have the 22nd, please?
Blog: http://thespellboundreader.blogspot.com
Yes, ma’am, you may!
Thanks 🙂 This is definitely something I should be thinking about as I play around with some big changes in my WIP, so this topic comes at the perfect time! I ignore my writing problems FAR too much lately.
Very happy to help, haha.
Any time for me, I reckon; I can always schedule if I’m busy. 🙂
How does the 9th sound?
Sounds good to me.
A Wednesday would be preferable but anything is good. My blog is arielkalati.blogspot.com .
How about the 6th?
Could I have… the 15th, please? Thanks!!
The 15th it is! 🙂
I’m fine with anything before the 20th, and would prefer something like the 10th. Thanks 🙂

The tenth it is! I look forward to it. 🙂
