Day 9

I was looking forward to following up with one of the prompters I discovered below, but I am afraid I don’t have the time to do one justice.  However, doing one justice isn’t really the point, writing is.
Where are the playgrounds without the graffiti?  Compare some aspect of your life to something you’d see at [...]

Day 8

Welcome to the second week.
I have to admit to being bored by the content here thus far.  I am not surprised by it, just bored.  The initial challenge for me will be to come up with a suitable way to be inspired to produce less boring content.  Left to my own devices I would likely [...]

Day 7

Kingfisher, Oklahoma is not such a great place to be today.
For some reason I wanted to revisit the Ailchas chapter involving the fight.  Make it more gritty.  Less elegant.  I am expecting to find it a wee be choreographed.  While Ailchas is a trained Swordsinger, he’s also a practical man.  Going for the knockdown, knockout, [...]

Day 6

It was bound to happen and it didn’t.  Excellent.
Now if I can avoid the same hump tomorrow and the next weekend I should be good.
Tessa and I attended a zoo class this morning: “F is for Ferret”  It turns out that due to the lack of a stuffed toy ferret and an actual zoo population [...]

Day 5

Of necessity this will be short.  Yes, shorter than the previous days.  But I haven’t yet set a word count goal per entry.
Dyanna was on fire today.  So much so that I almost forgot to swap over to this comp and write up my daily dose.  The conversation allowed me to exercise my acceptance of [...]

Day 4

Day 3

I almost logged in last night to do some writing.  I didn’t because I felt like I needed to save my thoughts for today instead–just in case.  That was foolish.
Poynter Online has some great and medium great instruction on writing better by Roy Peter Clark.  It’s journalism flavored.  Most of the advice is at the [...]

Day 2

Undoubtedly the morning will be the best time to get this daily writing accomplished. Which means I’ll need to shorten my internet surfing or expedite it in some way.
As far as PopURLs goes I am going to limit myself to 4 click-throughs on links and two on photos. That ought to budget my [...]

Day 1

Been itching to force myself to write again. This is the newest plan. It’s based on some dudes interpretation of a bit of advice Jerry Seinfeld gave him for writing: make chains.
Turns out the way to be a better comedian is to write every day. To mark it off on a calendar [...]
