As I reflect back on this past week writing each day, I am drawn to the writing prompt for Saturday. Really it was the whole week building to that prompt, but Saturday is when it hit me. When I look back at what I’ve written so far, what keeps jumping out to me is how much I underestimate myself, even […]
#JuWriSoMos Reflections, Week 5
