2025 New Year's writing resolution: spend 10 minutes a day getting words on the page.

Today's 10-minute writing exercise is inspired by "In A Grove" (which inspired Rashomon) by Ryünosuke Akutagawa. We're hearing different perspectives, and as usual your anonymish host is writing along. Turns out Cinderella's Dad tells the story differently than Cinderella (or anyone else).

• journal
• brainstorm
• write for your work in progress
