Luckily, the ability to produce a high volume of good writing doesn't just happen overnight. I'd still like to write every day it's just that producing such a high volume in such a short amount of time is what sends single girls like me running and screaming. I get all of it.Įven so, I would like to see my family for more than 30 minutes after I get home from work, and- sue me-but going to new restaurants with my friends is, like, the Olympic sport of my life. Okay, so I know the idea is that even moms and full-time employees can find time, that prioritizing writing over other things is important to nurture your artistic self, and that fitting writing into your day every day is what makes a writer, well, a writer. So forgive me for not jumping at the opportunity to write 50,000 words in a month. I'm the person who researches the restaurant ahead of time and still stares at the menu long after everyone has decided what to order. I've had three separate Facebook accounts, over 10 different email addresses (five of which are currently active), and I've dyed my hair more colors than I could count on both my fingers and my toes. I find it difficult to choose a movie because I think two hours is too long to focus on the same story. What makes this even more fun is that we’re going to do the challenge together as a community.I don't know about you, but I'm afraid of commitment. ![]() If you want to write a book, start a blog, or even just spend more time writing creatively, this writing challenge is for you. This challenge will help you kickstart a daily habit of writing. I'm really excited to announce our 7 Day Creative Writing Challenge, which we're beginning next week! How do you kickstart a habit, though? Well, one way is to focus on it for a short period of time, like seven days get a group together, like this community and make building the habit a fun challenge! So that's what we're going to do! Announcing Our 7 Day Creative Writing Challenge Best of all, you'll join a community of writers all cheering you on toward the same goal. It's a way to tap into your creativity in the midst of stress. Setting aside a time to write creates a tiny bit of structure in your day. I believe that this is the perfect time to start a creative writing habit. If you're like me, the habits you're used to are all gone, at least for now. Our regular schedules have been entirely disrupted. We've all experienced a lot of upheaval in the last few weeks. You don’t have to be disciplined to have a habit. A habit is something you do without thinking. That’s why I like habit so much more than discipline. Even after finishing fourteen books, I still struggle daily with discipline. Well, that's where our 7 Day Creative Writing Challenge comes in!īut before I tell more about the challenge, let me tell you why we’re doing this: A Writing Habit Is Better Than DisciplineĮvery day, I get emails from people saying, “I want to be a writer, but I don’t have the discipline to finish anything.”Īnd I get that because that’s where I was. Still, you’re ready to commit and focus on your writing (or refocus). Or you're discovering it's really hard to build your own habits and routines into your day. ![]() But you’re not sure how to stay disciplined. You want to become a writer, and you might even have some extra time now to make it happen. ![]()
