30 day writing challenge 20208/11/2023 Life truly is what you make it, trite and cliche as the saying may be, there is a huge degree of veracity to it that I somehow missed. That seems like really common sense knowledge, and despite that I have sat remaining in, then feigning ignorance of it. I don’t know why it’s surprising is the thing, we truly do generate our own decisions, and those choices play out in the overall feeling of our life and how well we are able to experience the highs and the lows. It’s always surprisingly shocking when after a bout in the ring with that particular demon suddenly the quality of life I’m experiencing diminishes rapidly and dramatically. For me, that takes the form of drinking or drugs, pumping my body full of as much poison as I can stand in whatever way I can get it. So, with that said, on my mind today is the nature of our own personal evils, our devils, our drive to do the untoward and vicious. The goal was to just put fingers to keyboard everyday, and I’m happy to say that I’ve pretty much managed to do just that. This damn challenge thing has me trying to think on my feet about what to write and I seem to be coming up dry, or at least feeling like I’m grasping for straws about what to say. I thought it would be a fun way to go today with a little poetry of sorts to begin with. The Devil is inside your soul today, just like it is for I. So stagger or crawl and jog or sprint or fly, The life we lead is the life we get and you’ll know it deep inside. If you haven’t heard the music yet then swallow down your pride. Wish me luck! And of course, feel free to adapt the guidelines in any way that might suit you on your journey towards becoming a more productive writer.Strummed beat, matched march, dirges as a throwaway tune,ĭeviancy is salt to bear rubbed tight inside a weeping open wound. Okay, so this is my strategy for the 30 days writing challenge. Hopefully, this group of people will be able to both celebrate successes and provide comfort and support when needed. We are all working on different things so these meetings will not be about the specific topic of our writings but rather a time a place where we can talk freely about both ups and downs in our writing process. Writing is rarely a linear process and for this 30 days writing challenge, I plan to go back and forth between fast and slow writing as I iterate my text.Īs support through this writing challenge, a few colleagues and I plan to meet once every week to discuss our writing projects. This text is likely to look at bit messy but that is okay because when you switch to slow writing, the task is to iterate the text and slowly turn it into a cohesive draft. The ambition is to just write and don’t worry about whether it is good writing or not. Fast writing is generally the first step in which you create a bulk of text and try your very best to not overthinking it. To follow guideline number two and three, I will plan each writing session both with respect to goals and type of writing. The actual time per day I can set aside for writing varies depending on what other commitments I have to attend, but my goal is to write for at least 30 minutes a’ day. The first step is to allot time to write and mark these in the calendar to make sure that nothing else gets in the way. To test this idea, I have decided to write every day (workdays only) during this 30 days challenge. Many of the books about productive writing claim that “the more you write, the easier it gets”. If possible, set up a writing support group and meet on a regular basis to talk about the writing process.Separate fast and slow writing and plan these for different occasions.
