Our lung health writing challenge is here. And, this time, the terminology and procedures are slightly more complex than our heart disease challenge. So, think of this challenge as the next level!
Remember, the idea is to complete one micro writing task a day for 30 days. Do as many challenges as you can throughout the month, and feel free to share your results with your health writing friends and me.
Just a little bit of writing every day will add up to big results at the end of the year.
