Writing Exercises: Writing Every Day
September 26th 2008 21:08
What with school started, many students, myself included, struggle to find time to write. Here's the thing: you make your own time, and it can be 10 minutes a day if you're that tightly scheduled, or more. All writers at some point struggle with this. Whether it be during the school year, or when you're working full time, or because you're a stay at home parent, all of us will at some point have difficulty finding time to write.
Because of this, until November, when I clear up my schedule so I can focus entirely on my writing, I'm only going to be writing minimal amounts every weekday.
Writing exercises can help you find your voice, go through your feelings on a certain subject, collect your knowledge into a piece of writing, and much more. Not all writers use exercises per se, but many do, and they can be fun as well as benefiting our writing skill and voice.
I am going to be writing ten minutes every day, using one word each day as a prompt and freewriting based on that. I will post these exercises and I encourage other writers to do the same using my prompts or others that they find.
If you do writing exercises or use prompts on a regular basis, let me know. I'd love to know where you get your prompts and how you choose them.
