It’s Day 6! Hopefully you’ve found your “writing groove” for the month!

It has been an honor to kick off this year’s March challenge. Tomorrow Betsy will take over hosting duties, but I’m looking forward to continuing to connect with all of you through your blogs for the remainder of the month!

BE INSPIRED

As we write this month, many of us play with different aspects of our craft: structure, word choices, and sensory details, just to name a few. In Beth Sanderson’s slice “Mystery Trip” on her blog A Reading Life, she brings to life these writing choices as she takes us back to a special moment with her grandparents. This piece, written in verse, is a symphony of beautiful word choices and treasured moments from Beth’s childhood.
