A little while back i_o_r_h_a_e_l started this little writing exercise :

Am doing these writing activities to find out if they're easy enough for the students/users of our books. The activities are taken from the book Discovering the Writer Within: 40 Days to More Imaginative Writing. So I'm going to need 40 days for this.

Thanks, sweetie. That freewriting exercise was fun, I didn't have to think too much! But then, I don't have to think all that much when it comes to Sam and Dean :DD
