My daughter told me a couple of weeks that I should start writing again. I’ve thought about it and attempted a couple of times. The truth is much of what I’ve written in the past few months has been full of swearing. I don’t know...
Last month I watched a movie that inspired me to write more. I set myself a challenge to write a blog post a day for a month. I managed 27 posts in 31 days and thoroughly enjoyed sitting down to write something meaningful each day. I also really...
