Challenges and Exercises and Writing 11:13 am
This is a new challenge for myself. I’m always coming up with a couple of sentences or an idea that might be the kernel of a story. Unfortunately I rarely write them down or do anything with them. So I’m going to try to write them here and possibly even do something with them. We’ll see how it goes.
Here’s the first Little Bit :
