#slice2013: 5 of 31
“Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up.”
—Jane Yolen

Wow – This slice was unexpected but cathartic today as my own daughter and I spent time in the doctor’s office for ear infections and bronchitis. It also could have gone in many directions, and I feel it contains a few slices in one. I know that is what is great about this challenge for me . . . practice, habits, and future revision!!!
