      <description>&lt;![CDATA[My older son is assigned the 100 Book Challenge: Early Literacy Read-Aloud Logbook along with a book bag from school. Everyday, my son will take a book and the logbook home and my wife and I will read the assigned book as well as other children’s books we have. We log it in and our son brings the book bag to school the next day. Rinse and repeat.&#xA;&#xA;That workbook made me realize I can create something similar. Except it would be for adult writers who always have problems trying to write something on paper or on screen and for children to develop their writing skills. I have always recommended for writers to write at least one sentence a day. Now I’m putting that advice into a product that will help writers get into the habit. &#xA;&#xA;Therefore I published Just One Sentence: The 100 Sentence Challenge Workbook.&#xA;&#xA;Included in the workbook:&#xA;&#xA;49 pages including a front matter that explains the challenge, a 100-box progress tracker, 100 prompts with space for writing your sentences and a Done box, a &#34;top pick three&#34; section, a day-100 milestone page, and a notes page.&#xA;&#xA;PDF file ready to print&#xA;&#xA;It’s on my Gumroad sales page for $7. I’m also in the process of publishing a paperback version on Lulu.&#xA;&#xA;So don’t let writers block ruin your enjoyment and learning of writing.
