    You can also get there by clicking on my name, but I wanted to make sure you got the site name. ( And please delete one of my comments, so I don’t have two “tickets” in the drawing).

  28. I joined in on the challenge to motivate myself to make a habit of writing every day, and so far I have kept up! 15/15. I just have to tell you that this is the most fun I have ever had writing! I am finding it is like a puzzle. I love the creativity. I love the challenge, and I am addicted to the comments. Is there a 12-step program for slicers in April?

  54. I’ve written each day – so 15 total – although I had trouble posting one day so I’m hoping that one “stuck”. This book is new to me, looks interesting and useful. Thanks for facilitating this project, it’s really pushed me to write each day and I wasn’t doing that at all…
