Hello, I’m Meka. I’m from St. Louis, MO. I work at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and I attend St. Louis University. I am an aspiring writer and recently decided to embark on a journey to begin a writer’s life.\u00a0 I am\u00a0doing the half-day marathon as a trial run.\u00a0 For this challenge, I will let my kids know that all errands must be done and if they have anything to do, mass transit would be their friend for the day(my kids are teenagers).\u00a0I will confine myself to my room with my laptop, pen and paper and my creativity.\u00a0 I don’t plan on any major distractions, my home is often quiet, and we all appreciate our own spaces and alone time, so they have been informed that I will not be available until after 9 pm.\u00a0 Since I am in school, I will ensure there are no pressing assignments that need to be in for that day.\u00a0 All other work will be done earlier in the week so my Sunday is free.\u00a0This is my very first challenge and I am very excited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
