With everything going on, it’s easy to ignore your writing. So my writing challenge comes from the words of ANWA’s illustrious founder, Marsha Ward, who has been blogging about her newly released fourth novel, Spinster’s Folly. She advises, “Write at least 25 words a day.” That sounds like great advice from someone who knows. But I only have one question—Does my 25 word shopping list count?
