I made it!
While some day of #sol18 weren’t easy, I did it!
I have a new understanding of writer’s block. I have a new understanding of what I expect my students to go through when I prompt and encourage them to write.
This was such a valuable experience for me as an educator, as a mother, and even for my soul. I’m grateful to my friend who shared this challenge with me. I’m also grateful to other bloggers for their comments, words of encouragement, and for fueling my drive to continue posting.
I can’t wait for this challenge next year, and have already passed this on to others who I feel may find value in daily writing for themselves.
Yes, the feeling of being stuck was uncomfortable and hard. Then days an idea came easily, I felt a huge adrenaline rush. This challenge did give me so much perspective as a teacher of writing.

Isn’t it amazing? I love March. I tell every teacher I can to try it . It’s eyeopening to write so much when we are teaching writing. 🙂

I love the reminder that as writers, we now feel what our students feel when faced with writer’s block. This is such a valuable exercise! Congratulations on meeting the challenge for the first time!
