Soon, Also, and Then

November 13, 2017 By Nancy Casey

Today in your writing practice, you are going to write about the future.  Any part of the whole imaginary future that could be ahead.  You could write about your plans for the rest of this day. Or you could fast-forward to a time when you have super-powers and understand what to do in every situation.  You can write about any point in the future, near or far, as long as you can … [Read more...] about Soon, Also, and Then
