On 16th October 2020, I took part in my first Heart Breathings’ virtual writing retreat. The event lasted for three days, and its goal is to help you write your current project.

In October, I joined Sarra Cannon’s Heart Breathings Word Sprints Challenge Facebook group.

If you’re a writer, I recommend you watch this channel.
