OK, I’m a little nervous. Two days until we begin this journey of writing a story a day.
But it’s a good nervous. It’s an energetic nervous. I’m like a stallion in the gate, ready for the off. Quivering a little.
Already I’m noticing benefits from this Story A Day project:
I’m looking at the world in a different way: looking at everything as a story idea, noticing details, smelling things, wondering how I would describe situations, feelings, people, objects.
I’m connecting with other writers.
I’m blogging about writing and making it a priority.
This might get tough around May 13 or so, but I’m ready. I’ve got my family and friends primed to nag me about my writing, I’ve got a little black book of ideas. I have some backup strategies for days when it’s tough (keep watching this blog and your inbox for those strategies as the month rolls along).
