Show Me Some Love
As Michelle mentioned last week, she coerced me into helping out around here in the land of mostly true stories. Not really; I’m happy to lend a hand, even if she’s trying to undermine my popularity. Under no circumstances should you listen to Michelle’s nonsense about keeping my grid smaller than hers. Instead, every last one of you should flock to the nonfiction grid this week. The more the merrier, right? Oodles of entries would be a very nice response to my first ever nonfiction opener. Please?
Today is a holiday in the United States. That means I am going to keep this short because I have relaxing to do. Also, I’m used to writing the voting post and by design that post is only a couple of sentences so my brain finds it challenging to write longer opening essays the way Michelle does. These things take time.
Happy writing! I’ll be looking for all of you on Stacie’s most popular nonfiction grid ever! Not sure what to write? Check out our Nonfiction Know-How and take a stab at writing a tutorial.
