Sentences

The sentence-a-day concept was introduced into my little world by some delightful friends who live in Michigan. Drawing-a-day was the inspiration for the sentence project, and I am going to try to start creating at least a sentence of writing every day. For funsies! Plus I love it when awesome people inspire me to do cool writing projects, or cool anything really.

Anyway, check this out and be amazed by the talent: Drawing-a-Day
