Don't buy the lie that writing is some sort of elite activity, reserved for the most skilled or poetic or trained. The last thing we need are more sanitized, uninspired books. What we need are people who have stories stirring their souls & who are brave enough to write them down.
I'm teaching a free writing workshop online for anyone who has ever considered writing a book. Come with a partial idea, with 100 ideas or with NO idea what to write about. See you there! https://t.co/fwsO3Cyp5H
2. Journal the thoughts: consciousness allows us to witness our thoughts as separate entities. Many of us are living life as if our thoughts are reality. Write down all your thought stream, uncensored. Let them flow and watch them leave the mind.
Extremely cold temperatures across the region are creating unprecedented demands on the power system. We are asking for everyone’s help in ensuring the power grid remains stable for us all by reducing electric power use as much as possible without sacrificing safety.
@anthonymdavis@Zondervan From the Oxford dictionary: “a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining some natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events.”

A note to authors: sometimes your words won’t appeal to the masses. Let that be ok. Sometimes it is showing you where you can get clearer with your syntax. Sometimes it’s showing you that you see something most people aren’t ready to see quite yet. Either way, keep writing.
My very first full conversation with my almost two-year-old.
Her: me have chocolate chips?
Me: we don’t have any chocolate chips baby.
Her: me have donut?
Me: we don’t have any donuts baby.
Her: [long pause to think…] wow mom needs go to grocery store.
Sometimes we outgrow things. Sometimes we bust through the seams. Not because we are too big. But because the old life / thing / way was too small. And by the way. What is so wrong with being “big” anyway?
Have you always wanted to write your story but didn't know where to start? @missallyfallon & I are hosting our second Write Your Story workshop May 13-14. Spend 2 days with us at the Carriage House at Goose Hill learning to write your story. Only 50 seats. https://t.co/DRK3lw0uV2
Sometimes I wonder if what we call a “strong woman” is just… a woman. It’s just not the woman we cultured to be sweet and small and responsible at all costs.
I'm teaching a workshop with @donaldmiller called Write Your Story. May 13-14th at his home Goose Hill, limited to 50 ppl. If you've ever wanted to write your story this is for you! We'd love to have you join us! https://t.co/2gdcm8GCu8
I used to think I was a fast worker. Then I became a mom. And let me tell you. You haven't seen a fast worker until you've seen a mom with 20 minutes of alone time and a to-do list.
I’m new to mom life but I think I have it:
Pours cup of coffee. Never drinks.
Writes half an email. Never sends.
Reads text. Responds in head.
Hasn’t completed a thought in….
How’d I do?
I’m not sure if @missallyfallon is a baseball fan, but she should smile at this great story. It’s about much more than the game.
Rooting hard for you, @MickeyMoniak!

@kristenhowerton Woah! Partner is appropriation?! I had no idea. That’s helpful to know. (Also this is a real dilemma. Please let me know what you learn).
What you do when you write your story is you give language to your pain. It is by giving language to your pain that you transform it into power; and and this is how we set ourselves free.
