Hey guys!

We’ve got a war this week! I didn’t hear about it till today, but I’ll pretty sure anything you wrote yesterday also counts, since these are week long wars. The war ends midnight on Sunday, and your totals will need to be turned in on Monday.

This is for new writing. So if you’re editing, you only count the difference in words when yo…[Read more]

Why Write?

If you’re reading this, the chances are pretty high that you’re a writer. But how often do you tend to stop and think about what it means for you to say that? Being a writer often throws some interesting images out there, and not all of them are clear. This lesson’s goal? Stop, Think, Reflect, Do.

So I hate to say this but lately, I have been doing everything but writing. Life has been crazy and I just have not given effort into setting aside time for writing. I have hardly even been on here as I am sure you all know. Wednesday though was the last day of my college classes (which I got an in both of if just barely in one) and I am finished…[Read more]
