In today's exercise, you'll write about whatever marathon makes you think of. By the end of the episode, you'll hear why President's Day always makes me think of marathons (and its nothing to do with running).

Did you do the exercise? Take a screenshot or photo of your writing and tag me @ambernpetty on Instagram! Or email my at [email protected].

Want a week where I tell you exactly where to pitch, give you editor info, and all you have to do is show up and write? Great! I'm doing that exact thing!

Come to the Pitching Sprint! Starting February 27th, you get 5 days of writing time, pitch specifics, encouragement, and expert advice. No putting off your story ideas or getting too scared to hit send. You'll write. You'll pitch. You might get a story before the week is over.

All for $20.
