Andrea, I’ve had your post in my mind since I read it several weeks ago. Week after next, I’m starting my own essay-writing challenge: 52 essays in 52 weeks. (I turn 52 in February.) I’m terrified. And I’m bookmarking this page to read when I feel too overwhelmed to write an effing essay.

I’ll track my progress on Twitter, because I need a little more engagement over there, and I’ve never really figured out how the Twitter-verse works, really.

If anyone wants to follow me — and give encouragement that I’ll send right back in your direction! — I’m at @llaingwriter. Please join in the fun!
