What Did I Accomplish Today to Be a Writer?

I did Day 243 of the 100 Words a Day Writing Challenge 2024 through L.A. Writers’ Lab and participated in Quiet Friday, where I took the opportunity to work on a story structure outline.

I think my story “My Carry On” cleared final draft status for the True Tales Memoir Series. That feels like quite a hurdle.

I also worked on getting images and copy ready for our upcoming local collaboration.

Thanks for reading what I’m writing,
