Day 31 - A Report
Jan. 31st, 2009 11:57 pmWell... The month will be over in a few minutes. Amazing how that happens.
Didn't quite live up to the writing every day thing, but still I managed to post every day which is more than I've done before. Shut up. Am not grasping at straws.
Anyway....
Writing is damn hard. Writing on command is almost impossible. I found nearly all the writing prompt sites to be practically useless. I dunno. Mebbe everyone else is a genius or something but there were only a few prompts I could actually get into enough to scribble about them. I'll have to think about how to make them work for me.
Also, if anyone has any ways to shut up an inner critic, please do tell. It takes me hours to write a page. It's ridiculous.
So... What did I learn?
I learned that I can write every day but I really have to force myself. I learned that inspiration is a rare thing. I learned that you can come up with lots of reasons not to write. Heh. Maybe I should write about that. Finally, I learned that you can love something and hate it at the same time.
Better luck next month.
