We write.
Or at least we'd like to.
But there's this thing about those conversations in my head...they just can't seem to make it onto paper.
At Relevant 2011 I attended a workshop on writing. The speakers {Emily P. Freeman, Sarah Markley, Sara Sophia, Lisa-Jo Baker, and Serena Woods} shared a wealth of information and I so appreciated being able to listen in on their words of wisdom. One thing that resonated with me was the admonition and encouragement from Sarah Markley to write 300 words a day.
300 words.
It sounds like a lot, but really, it isn't. As I mulled it over and over in my head I knew that I would need help. I would need the help of other women like me who feel the overwhelming compulsion to scratch pen to paper {or click nails to plastic keyboard} and sort out their life-blood. So here I am.
I'm not sure what will happen or if this will even go anywhere, but here's my idea.
Let's write.
Let's write 300 words, four (4) days a week.
You don't have to publish them--just write them.
Whether it be in your journal,
your blog,
your napkin at starbucks {though it would have to be quite a large napkin}
just write it down.
Then every Tuesday link up your favorite post from that week
because as we write 300 words 4 days a week
for a grand total of 1200 a week,
our overall writing will improve
and thus, so will our posts.
{if you want to be brave and post one of your 300 worders that would be swell}
So...here goes.
One big leap.

It'd be just peachy if you'd link back to
