Hello Fellow Writers!

I'm Michelle Miller, your challenge host!

I used to think that writing was a solo mission. Just me, my computer, and an endless supply of sparkling water. But I never made much progress until I joined a writing community. I created Words Add Up because for years I let getting "stuck" on one part of a story stop me from writing, but now I know that any amount of words is better than nothing.

I'm a web designer, owner of My Author Website, and the author of Launch Your Author Website. If you'd like more resources from me, go to www.myauthorwebsite.com./resources

Thank you so much for doing this challenge. I didn't meet the goals I was hoping to this time, but this was a wonderful experience and I will definitely be joining up again when you do another one.
