Think Like a Writer: TOC

We’re done! But I thought you might like a re-cap and a table of contents.

The 31-day Think Like a Writer series challenges writers to write at least 750 words each and every day for a month. I used the website 750words.org, but you can do it with pencil and paper or on your computer. These creative writing prompts are meant to be “morning pages” or practice in Thinking Like a Writer.

    Just fyi. . .I tried to click through on #6. Write your passions but got an error message.

    Appreciate the TOC and how useful it will be next month as I work the 750 words.
