WEDJ: Write Every Day in January (but not quite)
Who says we only have to start projects/commitments at the beginning of the month. Time is a human construct and we can take ownership of that and make Time our Bitch. No more rushing, just me. So here it goes, on the 11 of January 2017, I’m holding myself accountable to finish something. I will complete WEDJ (but not exactly). If anyone happen to be listening to my whisper into the void, feel free to participate. The only rule is that there are no rules. Have fun :D
