If you are interested in receiving Meredith’s prompts, head this way. Meredith also facilitated my guest appearance in the #StoryDam twitter chat.

Kitty Sorgen has become our coxswain, breaking our big goal of 70,273 blocks into breadcrumbs, giving us goals that step us on up to 70,273, and she encourages us all the way. Kitty has now said we need to collect 1000 blocks by June 1. (I think we can beat that.)

And on we grow, y’all.
