Announcing the upcoming e-book, The 30 Day Writing Challenge, the tool that will help you make a habit of writing every day and write better to boot.
There are a lot of books offering writing exercises out there. Most will give you 52 exercises, one for each week of the year, others 365, one for each day. Neither worked for me. Writing once a week isn't enough and setting a goal of writing every day for a year is too much.
What is just right? Writing 10 minutes a day for 30 days. You've seen books about decluttering your space in just 10 minutes a day. You've seen ads for learning a language in just 10 minutes a day. 10 minutes is doable. And doing anything for 30 days will make it a habit.
Using prompts, fun exercises and interesting creative projects, you'll experiment with all facets of writing - poetry, fiction, journaling, non-fiction, because by exploring all these genres, you'll expand and develop your writing skills. Limiting yourself to only being a poet or only writing short stories, means you're missing out on other levels and types of writing that can enhance and inform what you've chosen to specialize in.
This is about PLAY. This is about FUN. This is about BREAKING THROUGH BOUNDARIES. We'll dive into memory, dreams and desire, and discover hidden treasures you can turn into those poems or short stories, essays or novels LATER.
Big Plus: By the end of the challenge, you will have developed the habit of writing every day. You'll be surprised how much writing you will have accumulated!
IT CAN BE DONE. A "Real Writer" doesn't have to write every day, but the real writer does make it a habit to write. Doing so will put you on the road to true creative combustion, as I call it. Meaning: once you ignite the writing mind, get it running on a regular basis, let it know that you're passionate about what you're doing and that you're willing to devote regular time to it, the writing mind gets the message, and before long, you won't be able to keep up with all the ideas that seem to come out of nowhere. You will have thrown the door to the imagination WIDE OPEN.
Added Bonus: The 30 Day Writing Challenge includes tips on writing, how to read for and understand the technical elements of poetry and fiction, links, inspiring quotes, and a list of recommended reading.
Want My Opinion? Once you've done the exercises, picked the writing that shows the most promise, and developed it into a first draft, email it to me for a FREE evaluation. (Within reason! I'll read anything up to 30 pages.)
Along with the book, I will send you the link to a yahoo group created for the community of writers just like you, who are taking this challenge. Through this group you can share the results of your exercises (purely voluntary), comment on the work of others, ask questions of me that I'll be happy to answer, and share tips and resources. We all support and inspire each other! I'd like to stress that THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION. Everyone's comments, ideas, and writing are appreciated and highly respected.
This great new book is yours to download for $13.95. Place your order early and I'll take 10% off - dropping the price to $12.55.
Once you've made your purchase, email me at therealwriter@netzero.com so I can send you the book and the link. Thank you! I look forward to reading your work!
