For 2017 — because I am over-ambitious, over-confident, or just nuts — I have signed onto a year-long writing challenge: write an essay a week for the year. I’m going to try to post on Tuesdays so that I can share here. My first one just went live: https://girlgriot.wordpress.com/2017/01/03/learning-to-walk-all-over-again/
