Free Writing for Lent

Yesterday I thought I was going to skip celebrating Lent this year because I couldn’t come up with anything good to give up.  The past five years or so I have given up simple sugars and white bread, but with outrigger training I have pretty much eliminated those things from my diet anyway so it wouldn’t be much of a struggle.

My beloved old roomie Hilary used to take it upon herself to write a journal entry every day for Lent.  I decided today I am stealing her idea – though I’m going to call them “free writes” instead of journals because for some reason the idea of “journaling” always makes me think I have to write about my feelings, whereas “free writes” are, well, self explanatory.

Some of these writings will likely turn into blog entries, many will probably be poorly formed story ideas, and who knows what else.  I think I’m looking forward to it.

Happy Ash Wednesday!
