A Message To A Friend

By Sandra Pollock


We’re into another month-long lockdown here in the UK. It started today 5th November 2020. It’s hit some people pretty hard. So we thought we’d find a way of helping us to focus some of that downward energy into something more productive.

So here is your challenge.

If you were going to write a poem or a letter telling a dear friend how they could get through this second lockdown period what would it say?

We could all do with a little encouragement just how. Share your words of creative wisdom. What would you wish to tell a friend?

You can share your work here, below in the comments box or you can join us on our Facebook page ‘A Call To Write’

Personal 30 Day Writing Challenge

By Sandra Pollock

We can all find ourselves a little out of the writing loop at times.  As much as we love writing, the busyness of life can at times take precedence and we loose the time and get out of the practise we once had of regularly writing. 

This is where I’ve found myself now, to be honest, so I’ve decided to do something about it.   And wondering if you might want to join me. 

I will add, that this is not a competition and you won’t get any prizes for doing this challenge with me.  But you will get, and this is what I’m working to achieve, is back into the practise of writing something each day.  Back into the flow of doing what you love doing. 

I have already put a post up on our facebook page ‘Call To Write’ .  You can view it here.  https://www.facebook.com/pg/acalltowrite/posts/?ref=page_internal

We will be using our Facebook page to comment and encourage each other each day. 

As I’ve mentioned on that post, you don’t have to share what you write each day, only if you want to.  It’s just about writing something each day.  It may just be  a paragraph or a quote.  It may be that you end up writing something more lengthy.  That doesn’t matter. What does matter is that we write something each day.

So, are you going to join me?  I believe writing is not about perfection, it’s about expression.  And that’s what we here at SanRoo are about encouraging you and ourselves to do.

If your answer is yes, just let me know in the comment box below and join us each day by adding something on the Call To Write Facebook page to share your experience as you progress on writing something each day in our Personal 30 Writing Challenge.

It doesn’t matter what time of day you write something, just as long as it’s before midnight.  If you can also comment on the page before midnight each day, that would be good too. 

Who’s in?  We start today.
