What Does a New Year Mean to You?

Hello Everyone!

I'm a newbie to the blogging world! So, why am I here???



I created this blog in hopes of motivating myself and others to write. Unleashing creativity is good for your soul!

Writing is a great outlet to release your thoughts, ideas and learn about yourself but if you're like me, you need structure and guidance along with commaraderie to do it.

If so, let's take this journey together!

Grab a journal (any kind will do!) and follow my daily prompts to get your mental juices flowing.

My three rules:

1.) Don't sensor yourself while writing - just write (you can always come back later to edit)
2.) Set a time limit - 10 minutes is prefectly fine (more if you like)
3.) Pick a time of day - best yet, schedule it on your calendar (and stick to it)

Grab your favorite cup of coffee (or tea if you prefer) and start writing!

Today's Prompt:

"What does a new year mean to you?"
