Since I was able to put pen to paper, I have had the longing, the urge, the unwavering desire to write. As a child I used my "toy" typewriter to write short stories and as a teen I kept a journal full of poems and other nonsensical mutterings. Any chance I had to create something with words was a chance I jumped at.
This is not to say that my writings are perfect, entertaining, or even well done. This blog is not about how good I am...or how bad I may be...this blog is for the sole purpose of getting my butt back in the writers chair!
The challenge I am setting for myself is to follow along in a book I purchased at the suggestion of the leader at a local writers group. (That I attended one meeting of and have not been able to get back to). The book is titled A Writer's Book of Days written by Judy Reeves. Each day there is a new prompt, these prompts will be posted each day and I will use it to create whatever I create with it.
I promise you that there will be spelling errors, grammatical errors and there will be times when I will make no sense at all because I thought more words than I may have typed. I also promise (more to to myself) that I will post every single day..even if it's only to post a paragraph about the prompt.
My days of sitting by and waiting for my big story to fall into my lap is over. I think up at least five different story lines a day, it's time to get something on paper!
So there you have it. 365 days of writing.
