Join the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogs for 2012 Writing Project
As we are supposed to close the writing project entry submission tonight, I have received numerous request for an extension for a variety of reasons (submission error, among others).
In this regard, I am extending the writing project submission deadline for one more day. Entries will be accepted up to 11:59 PM of September 20.
Note though that I will no longer be able to accept entries beyond this September 20 final deadline as we need time to process all entries received and ensure that proper notification be sent for the September 29 recognition / networking day for writing project participants.
Many thanks and look forward catching up with writing project participants at the September 29 get-together.
