Thank you for the joy in writing that you are sharing Sandra! Love all of the links and I am sniffing around the edges of a commitment! It does look fun.

Also fun to hear about the new mystery that you are writing!!! Do you always start at the beginning? Do you have an outline, at least in your head of the whole story? Just wondering how it works for you.

I use the Save the Cat! outline to capture some key points in the novel. So yes, I have a loose outline in my head and can always refer back to my STC outline to see if I'm including everything I want to include in the area I want them. Thanks for asking! I'm so glad you like my newsletter, and you are checking out all the links. Do consider joining in.

Good luck with your 1000 words! I love Jami’s project, but haven’t felt inspired enough to focus on it. Your substack gave me a nice little nudge of encouragement. ❤️

Thank you for the luck, and I hope I've nudged you into joining in for 5 days. Some words is better than no words!

Hi Again Sandra,

Came across to substackers this morning that I thought you might like to know about. I am sharing your site with them, too.

I just finished my book so I’m not sure I will participate this go around but I’m cheering you on. Thank you for the writing prompts. I want to return to prompts and journaling and more creativity and I’ll share those prompts with students.

CONGRATULATIONS on finishing your book! If you do participate, you can write 1000 words a day about your feelings around writing and completing that book! There will be words from different writers each day, and more prompts. Congratulations again. I know what a big deal it is.
