I’ve been thinking about how to end this #memoir and woke up with word-images ready to pour into #5amwritersclub. Sometimes the brain works for you! #WritingCommunity

I woke up wanting to edit what I wrote yesterday, feeling it wasn’t right. I’m resisting the urge, writing on to see what else emerges. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #memoir

I’m so sad about the destruction of the girls’ school in Iran. I keep thinking about those parents and families. What kind of a world do we live in.

Excited to get into the last section of my #memoir manuscript, the part I didn’t write in draft 1. Have a good one, friends! #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub
