An Invitation to Write
"
If I didn't know the ending of a story, I wouldn't begin. I always write my last lines, my last paragraph, my last page first, and then I go back and work towards it."
~Katherine Anne Porter
Start with a great final sentence, then begin the process of getting there. Go!
This is a family-friendly, safe space for all skill levels. A drum is NOT required!
