Share your "I Remember" exercise!

Whether we call ourselves by the name or not, we are all writers. As Dani revealed in the class, the right writing exercise can unlock even the trickiest of writer's block. We'd love to read what you wrote during your "I Remember" exercise, if you'd like to share.

And, we want to know how you've crafted your writing life! Do you have rituals you do every time you write to support your practice? Do you struggle with mindset and calling yourself a "writer?" Share your experience, and let us know how you found Dani's meditation session. A few things to keep in mind:

Don't think before you start the "I Remember" exercise, just start writing. Let your mind wander to unrelated events and memories.
Keep a separate, dedicated journal for each exercise if you can. It will serve as a kind of journal and keep you in the right frame of mind for each one.
If meditation doesn't work for you, find your own writing ritual! Do you make coffee or light a candle? Do you always write in the same place?
