Writing is like grocery shopping! A good shopper does not grab everything off the shelves. Their basket is neither too empty nor too full. Instead, they choose the best ingredients for the meal they want to make. A good writer does the same. Walk down the aisles below, click your ingredients to put them in your basket, then "cook up" an amazing piece of writing! 🍳
