BE INSPIRED:
Terje รkke (@terjeakke) has been a part of our writing community since 2011. Each year she composes a “Right Now” piece, which was inspired by SouleMama. While I’ve read a lot of Terje’s writing, I hadn’t read one of her “Right Now” pieces ’til last week. I was taken by the positive nature of it, as well as the way it was structured (e.g., punctuation, verbs). ย Therefore, I wanted to share it with you today.
We’re in the final days of our month-long challenge. Some of you might be feeling like you’re a little spent from this month-long writing marathon. ย If that’s how you’re feeling today, consider looking at Terje’s writing for a little inspiration today.
