Let’s get STARTED
\nLet’s Write on the FIRST PAGE in our
\nWriting by Inner Vision Personal Journal<\/center> <\/p>\n

For the assignment that goes with the Introduction to Writing by Inner Vision Journal, I’d say to Keep it short and simple.
\nOur goal is to simply begin to write something in your new journal.<\/p>\n

This is my response to the suggestion for writing just a short paragraph or two, to get you started in keeping a journal.
\nAll I had to do was to look out my office window and write a couple of sentences about what I saw out there.
\nIt is snowing and the temperature is in the 20s.
\nI decided to write my little observation in the form of an icicle or snowflake falling downwards.<\/p>\n

Do you get a feeling of something falling down, dripping, or hanging?
\nI created a poem that makes a picture!<\/strong><\/p>\n
