Every once in a while I dream of being a writer. I wish I could make someone forget who they were because they were so immersed in a world that I created. I want to have the ability to make people in books seem more real than the people around you. Barring that, maybe I could write short stories or magazine articles. It would be neat to see people reading, and enjoying, something I created.
But, ultimately, I know that thinking about writing is not the same as writing. So, I thought I'd test my mettle and write 15 minutes a day for one month and take-up Laurie's challenge. At the end of the month, I'll decide my next step. Laurie Halse Anderson has devised some guidelines and is encouraging everyone to go for a walk to get their thoughts in focus. So, I'm off for some brain exercise!
So, what are some dreams/goals you have?
What can you do for one month, fifteen minutes a day, towards that goal?
Well, let's get to it!
That's the real test: what are you willing to do everyday to work toward that goal? Things we think we really want, all we have to do is still ourselves and be about it!
