Wednesday Writing Sprint:
Each Wednesday a small group of writers devote the day to writing. It’s not a massive spree like the 10K Day, this is just about setting time aside each week to devote to your craft.
The time can be spent outlining characters, plots, scenes, etc. or it can be spent using it for a writing marathon. The focus is to simply devote more time to your writing.
It’s often difficult to schedule a chunk of time each day for personal writing. We keep making plans to do it, keep telling ourselves to do it, but something always comes up. Setting aside a whole day just for personal writing projects works better because you can plan for it and make preparations. You can schedule other work for another time so you aren’t leaving any clients in limbo.
Make it a part of your weekly work schedule and I’m sure you’ll not only have a good time and feel good about finally spending time with your personal writing, you’ll also make progress.
If you would like to participate, we have opened a public access board in our writer’s group so you can share your progress while joining in on the Wednesday Writing Sprint.
Hope to see you there!
10K Day for Writers:
(Excerpt from Milli Thornton – Fear of Writing)
If you’d like to join us for one of this month’s 10K Days—Thursday, October 15 or Saturday the 24th—you can start here by posting your RSVP.
Please specify which day you’ll be attending.
WHERE TO GO TO PARTICIPATE ON OCTOBER 15 or 24
To participate, return to the HOME PAGE of Fear of Writing on the morning of your chosen 10K Day. (Each writer determines his/her own start time.) You’ll find a special post called 10K Day: Live While It’s Happening! and that’s where you’ll be making your check-ins.
The Live, While It’s Happening! post will give you pointers on what to post for your check-ins.
