## Day 18

If you don't know what March Madness is - don't worry, just start writing!!

This is what we are doing - we are writing a novel in one month. A daily prompt is guiding you along - but - here is the big secret - if you don't want to use it, no worries.

You can either post what you wrote or not.

See, we have lots of rules!!! Like none.

But wait - there is one rule. Record your word count for the day. The goal is 50,000 by the end of the month. That is roughly 1600 per day. If you want to win - you have to submit the word count. If you don't care about the sweet, sweet SBI, just write and that is it.

*Enter your word count [here](https://goo.gl/forms/6lyU4hGTwW1nO2wE3)*

## Prizes

## 20 SBI donated by @kaelci!

## 10 SBI by the Freewrite House

## 1 SBI for everyone that finishes from @mariannewest

## You can be a sponsor as well!!!

## March Madness Fan -mmfan

We know that some of you are not going to want to write a novel - but you might want to read one. Once again, we will have an incentive to the fans. Choose one or more writers to follow and when you leave a comment, make sure to use the #mmfan. 
That way (and it really is the only way) we can find you and give you some sweet rewards.

Let us know in the comments if you want to be a fan and we will create a list to remind you...

I am having trouble posting this. I finally got it to post using @partiko and it went through on the App, but now I'm not seeing it anywhere. If it's not up before bed I'll post it again steemit.com. Ugh!
