And Today

WRITEphoto © 2008 Karin Dalziel | more info (via: Wylio)

How was I able to write for thirty-one days last month?

And today . . . nothing.

Was it the challenge of the challenge to write every day?
     The excitement of an attentive audience?
          The inspiration from the other writers?
               Knowing there was an end in sight?

April has been more of a writing challenge.

And today . . . I try to write.
And today . . . I am encouraged to write.
And today . . . I want to write.
And today . . . I will write. No matter what.

    I think April has been a challenge, period. Perhaps your writer's block will improve as we move towards May!

    Thanks for sharing that even writers get stuck, and that's part of writing.

    Dear Michelle,
    March was a sprint. Now it is time to stretch, jog, walk. But don't stop exercising. I like your determination in the last line.

    I agree! April has been a real challenge. It's been hard coming up with ideas, to just make the time to write! But like I tell my students, just write. If you don't know what to write about, write that you don't know what to write about. And look what you've done! A poem! And I will really like your last stanza. It should be your mantra until next March!

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
