The following is suggested to be read while

YWSers of all ages, it's that time of year again! A glorious festival wherein we rally our troops, neglect our homework (a tad bit more than usual), and evoke our inner critic that has been biding power and energy all year long! Why, to rip the Band-Aid off, September is the second annual International Review Writing Month, which we just simply love to call RevMo (because it sounds like a chainsaw in the distance, really).

The premise is simple! If and when you write 50 reviews in the month of September, 2016, you will be awarded badges and bragging rights for all eternity--and let's be honest, reviewers: who doesn't love some good ol' bragging rights?

To facilitate the event, the bouncy conglomerate that is your mod squad will be hosting an array of pep talks, vlogs, graphic features, and review wars to help shove push you along at a savage leisurely pace throughout the entirety of the month!

It truly is our favorite site holiday (we think...), and we happily and wholly welcome you to take part in the challenge!

And for those of you who like full plates, you may, as always, lob on a heaping spoonful of Team Tortoise, during which challenge you write at least one review per day for the thirty day period, seek out the elusive (at least we think they're elusive...) Team Hare, whose purpose is to blow through RevMo at their own available paces, or simply rally the troops and be a true paragon of the people, reviewing like none have ever reviewed before!

We await, with bated breath, your arrival.

Actually going to do this one :D Can't wait!

Well, I have no excuse not to do this - last year I managed it in the middle of an international move. :P

(Also I kinda wanna get my next star...but that's 79 reviews. o.o)

Also, I find it highly amusing that I'm so far east/west that this actually starts at midnight Sept 1, my time.
We're all stories in the end.

I might as well try to do it. It's not like this reviewing goal will kill me or anything.



Or maybe it will.

(That sounded creepier than I meant to make it.)

@Gymnast2801 Joining teams is easy - just choose one and aim for the goal - as long as you write one review a day, you'll show up on team tortoise on the review leaderboard and as soon as you've completed 50 reviews, you'll be considered a victor for team hare :)

*jogs in place and puts on tacky sweatband*

Heck yes!!!!
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of its own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs,
And prayers and proclamations

I had (unconsciously) taken a full month break of writing and I think this will be the best opportunity to start anew :D

Sad I'll be starting college in september :x
