Reboot

 

It's been a while since I have come here and set a goal. My world has been chaos in many ways, but there has been slow progress forward. The fact that I still dream of being a writer is something that certainly remains. So, maybe another creative writing challenge. The difficulty is that the book I used last time is packed (I moved this last summer), so I need to find prompts from somewhere else. 

Ooo! I think I found one! Here!  

So, shall I keep the same premise as last time? Maybe a few changes.  Here are the parameters for this time: 

  • I'm not going to miss a day. Each time I write will be the next consecutive day, so there will be 30 entries on 3- different days. 
  • I will use the link above - from Writer's Digest, using the first 30 prompts. I have not looked at them and will on each successive day. I think it will suit my needs. 
  • As before, I will set the timer for 20 minutes, remove distractions, and focus on writing. Also, if I feel compelled, I will write for another 10 min. As I said before, it's not about finishing something, but simply writing something. And something every day. 
  • As before, I will write something creative - the beginning of a story, the end of a story, something in between, something from my own life something created, something I heard. A poem. A piece of prose. Not a report or essay. I will omit the source, so "I" could be anyone (or anything!). The main character also could be anyone/thing! And, as before, nothing x-rated or violent. 
  • Because I want to finish before the end of the year, that's why I have set 30 days instead of 50. We'll see what we choose for the next challenge! But ... to get my feet wet again, here's a good place to start. 

So ... come along for the ride, if you want ... let's see where this goes! Consistency is the key!
