Every writer has their own process. To those that are able to spend hours every day crouched with pen to paper or cursor flashing on lighted screen, I salute you! For myself, it’s a balance of living to make ends meet while always having to add in time for creativity.

Then I go to facebook and see a post from a former student who comments on the success of a resolution to read 20 minutes a day for a year. After commenting, “I approve!” I realized that former student was giving me a bit of homework to jump start my year.

So here’s a small leap. A small step to take things to the next level, to attempt to find myself as one of those writers that writes each and every day and sees the world through words. My attempt to take the un-given nudge from a former student to get me writing again. Even if it is only for twenty minutes. Here is my writing. Twenty minutes a day (some days more). What will I say?
