Congratulations to our winners! We received so many wonderful entries to the SCWC January Writing Challenge; as always, you made it very difficult for us to narrow down the submissions and choose the winners. What was the challenge? To write a personal essay connecting your earliest memories of wanting to be a writer to your current writing goals for the new year.
