Assignment: Write a paragraph or two, about the equivalent of a blog post, so we’re talking around 300 words. It can be about anything you want. Then save it where you won’t lose it. Ideally, I’d love for you to post it on Facebook, but I understand if you don’t want to. Later, at the end of this series we’re going to look at it again and make it better, but you can’t improve on writing that has yet to be written, so get to it!

I jumped up and down a few times, hoping to shake it off. Perhaps I should say a prayer? Then I realized that something was indeed off. The floor counter hovered between one & two. The elevator wasn’t moving. Oh no, I’m stuck!
