We "emptied our brains!"
What an awesome brainstorming session we had today on what good writers do! Collectively we have so many ideas and so much knowledge. It is so powerful when we share it together. Writing is HARD, and it’s easy to see why if we need to be doing all of these things to be good writers. Great thinking, everyone!
