UNpacking: a 31-day writing challenge
A friend and fellow blogger’s 30-day writing challenge inspired me to find a writing challenge of my own. I did some googling and came across A LOT of month-based challenges. Oy! But none spoke to me. So I pondered and pondered and came up with my own. Since October has 31 days, I’m going for…
