Yesterday you wrote for 15 minutes. Today it’s going to be 30 minutes. Take yesterday’s work and change it in someway. It could be from a different point of view, tense or even a different genre. At the end, check on how you did. Did having something already written to work with make it easier…

Writing Challenge Day 13-Write for 15 Minutes
We’re heading into week three of the writing challenge and let’s put what we’ve learned about our writing habits and preferences to good use. Set a timer for 15 minutes and do some work on your current project. If you don’t have a work in progress then start one. It could be a short story…
Writing Challenge Day 11-Story Fragment
This week we’ve been focusing on story prompts. Using them as ideas to begin a writing session. We’re also making notes about where we write and for how long and how much gets written. Even noting if we’re sticking with the daily writing habit or not and why. Today, let’s try a story fragment. Something…

Writing Challenge-Day Three
Yesterday we focused on freewriting with pen and paper. Today we turn to laptops, keyboards… Set your timer for ten minutes and once again freewrite. It could be something you see in the room, some dialogue between two characters, the opening of a new story or even random ramblings. Keep this handy because on day…
Writing Challenge Day Two
Today, set a timer for ten minutes. Pull out a pen and paper and write anything that comes into your head. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make sense, or on the other hand, if it’s part of a scene for a story, a poem, an observation…whatever. When the time is up, put the paper aside….
Monday Motivation-Day One-Writing Challenge
I chose this quote to launch the February writing challenge because when it comes to doing anything worthwhile, there are no shortcuts. You have to put in the time, effort and work. That’s what we’re going to do this month.
