Slice 2012: 13 of 31
- Share your link in the comments then respond to 3 (or more) other slicers.
I think this week of the challenge is a tough one. Days 11 – 17 can be grueling. The newness has worn off, the end of the month feels far away, and writing topics seem to be hard to come by. You can make it though! This week I’ll share nuggets of inspiration to make writing a little less painful.
Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers.
—Isaac Asimov
