It’s fun writing for another forum because there is subtle editing done after I submit the work that only I notice. It’s like my secret.

There you have it – a glimpse inside where the writer writes.
Small Town Leadership Lesson: You don’t need a pristine office or Pinterest-like space to do your best work. You only need your creativity and motivation.
Where do you do your best work?
