Accountability Friday- March 27, 2020

It's time to praise yourself! Show Off!
     Tell us your accomplishment of the week.
                 Whether it was small (Wrote a word, sentence...etc)
Or big (Wrote a chapter, or two)
         Or just clearing a writing space for yourself
                                     Something you did that forward your progress in your writing.
You did it!
