Welcome to YeahWrite’s Weekly Writing Challenge #381
By the Time You Read This As I write this, it's Wednesday and I'm sitting at my desk in my office where I always am when I write these. But if you're reading this on Sunday, the day it's published, I'll be somewhere between Illinois and Nebraska. Any later...
