Each week you will write at least 2 entries in your at-home writing journal.

Each entry will be written on one topic. If you want to work on a longer story that continues from entry to entry, just write the date each time you start a new entry and continue working on the same story.

Each entry is a minimum of 15 minutes of writing time.
