We’re closing in on the end of August, which means most of us are either back to school or about to be. We may or may not be face to face with kids. We may or may not be beginning the school year in the way we might choose. However you are experiencing this time is your experience. What are you noticing as you read the world like a writer? What stories are important for you to tell?
