It has been a month now of me doing daily writing exercises! (aside from Thanksgiving, which I took the day off). I might just call it my writing time and not worry about 10-15 minutes, but I am still going to try to do it, as I say every day.

Welcome to your new Time Shift Watch Xtreme 3000(tm) by Relive Relearn Research Inc., the latest and sleekest personal Time Travel device available in the Five Galaxies. Here are some important things to keep in mind when operating your new Time Travel Device.

Another fun little exercise, I was aiming for funnier than this ended up, but it was still a fun exercise. How would you ride the Instruction and Safety card for a Time Travel Device? What is your feedback on mine?
Hope you enjoyed and that you are having a wonderful day and get to do, or experience, something creative.
