As part of my goal this year to blog at least once a week, I took a class on Skillshare about writing for self care to get prompt ideas. (And it also covers for this month’s Skillshare class goal, so yay me for checking things off my goal list).
I’m excited to do this challenge because it will help me keep up my writing and I’ll be able to give myself time for self love and reflection.
There are 6 prompts and I’ll post each one every Monday.
Click here if you want to check out Skillshare for free for two months.
And click here for this particular class if you want to try it too.
Anyway, here we go for the first prompt!
