Congratulations to our JeRoWriMo Participants and Winners!

Many congratulations to all our 2019 Jersey Romance Writers' Month participants, and extra balloons and sparkles to our finishers!

We had:
60 participants
25 finishers
And a grand total of 1,234,204 words written!

JeRoWriMo is a fun challenge held every February to encourage writing, creativity and camaraderie among our members. Members are challenged to write 30,000 words in 28 days. Cheerleaders spur everyone on each day, and every word written is celebrated, whether or not the member finishes the challenge. At the end of the month, the finishers receive a prize and a pin, and everyone gets to celebrate a chance to get more words on the paper!
