ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Still hoping for more comments? Try drafting your post for tomorrow tonight and posting the link earlier in the day. The longer your link is available, the more time readers will have to respond!
  • Also, the more comments you leave for others, the more comments you will likely receive!

BE INSPIRED

Christie Wyman’s post titled But You Can’t Be Out of Stickers! is a great example of a small moment from daily life, stretched out and told in great detail. She really zooms in on the moment, and tells it bit by bit, including action, dialogue, her thoughts, and imagery to really bring her story to life.
