Beginning in February, 2022, I started a new creative project called the “100 Days Project.” I’ve been invited into a group of about a dozen people who encourage each other to do something creative. For my project, I decided to write a rough draft book of 100 Chapters in (about) 100 days. You can find all completed chapters below (and in another form here.)
