Day two of my journaling through Chelene Knight’s Safekeeping: A Writer’s Guided Journal for Launching a Book With Love. Yes, there were many other insightful questions and activities to do since my first post, and I will definitely be exploring those avenues, maybe even here at a later time, but this one spoke to me, […]
I know, I know, I tried this before with Pam Grout’s E-Squared and admittedly didn’t complete it, but I wanted to try it again with Safekeeping: A Writer’s Guided Journal for Launching a Book with Love by Chelene Knight.
