Social media and the internet are so quiet. Shhhh, I can hear you writing.

The idea of thousands and thousands of writers writing, each of us writing and plotting our own stories and at the same time all of us writing together as one is sublime.

Many of you will use the support of other writers to keep us writing. Others will take daily walks. Some will plot as you write. Others have detailed Plot Planners at the ready as you write, every word a joy. I give thanks for journey we travel together.
