Today’s Take Action Prompt: Write. Write again.
By Sandra Lee Schubert | January 23, 2008
Write one more time. Each day write 50 words. Pick a topic or not. Observe - what do you see? Touch - what are the sensations? Listen - hear a piece of conversation and then write a story about it. You can write more but not less. Write with a friend. Go to the park and write for ten minutes and then go play. Write waiting on line. Just write. Don’t think about it too much and don’t worry about editing it. This is not your great novel. You are laying tracks, building the foundation, and developing the sense that writing is something you can do.
Read books like King’s; pick up Ray Bradbury’s book, Zen in the Art of Writing, or One Writer’s Beginnings, by Eudora Welty. These books are great sources for observing how a writer takes from life and recreates stories.
Wherever you are in life; honor your journey. Create your environment to support your creative self. Surround yourself with people and things that feed your muse. Share your work with others and you may find that you are a happier and more satisfied person. Discover the brilliant, talented and wonderful person you are.
