You may feel as though you’ve lost your direction and don’t know which way to go with your writing. You’ll have lots of ideas and the imagination is working fine, but you can’t see the big picture.

It’s a day to just have faith in the writing process and believe that it is all leading somewhere wonderful. After supper, you get hints of the pattern, and a glimpse of where this is all leading.

What tasty morsels lie hidden in an old archive file you’ve forgotten about? This retrieval process will last through early March, so there’s no hurry.
