This resonates! I’m a teacher of writing (middle school) that gets so wrapped up in my own head and need to be perfect that I barely write. This is a good challenge. Thanks for your transparency and consistency (in advance). Looking forward to all the ideas that flow from this challenge! And thanks for what you’ve already written as your words and sermons have already helped me tremendously.

I’m looking forward to this consistent view into your craft of storytelling. It is truly a gift to creatively communicate grief and hope through writing. No verbal or non-verbal cues -- just the heart tug from a string of words. Can’t wait!

I just know this is going to be good! The thought of reading your words every day for 30 days made me smile this morning.

Procrastination-yes, that’s what is keeping from finishing this paper on Old Testament wisdom for class. Thanks for the gentle kick in the rear ❤️

“My notes app and notebooks are full of half-baked thoughts that could do some good in the world if I just finished cooking ‘em.” Every writer can identify with this! I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts as you figure out which are worth developing and sharing.

I'm in! I'm a musician and songwriter so I'll have to tweak the challenge but I definitely need the accountability. I suffer from the same procrastination via perfectionism. Any suggestions?

See, about that... 🥴 😅They don't exist yet. Fear of the blank page has crippled me in the past, but I have new motivation to get it crackin'. I’d love for you to read them and give me feedback once I do have something to share!

Yes! I’m on summer break and my mind is flooded. Would be good for me for so many reasons!

Funny, yesterday I had this "random" idea to just start "cooking" the hundreds of film ideas I have spread between at least 3 note-taking apps. I've got enough plots, characters, and scenes, so before I let them rot, I might as well whip something up, right? I figure the perfect time I've been waiting for to get started just ain't coming. Lol...

Can't wait to read your home cooked goodness!
