Okay, so today I’m tackling day 12 of this 750-word writing challenge. It’s been… something.
I started this whole thing with the idea of just getting words on the page, you know? Like, no pressure, just write. The first few days, I was all over the place. I wrote about my cat, then some random thoughts about coffee, and even tried my hand at a short story that went absolutely nowhere.
Around day 5, I decided I needed some kind of structure. So, I started using a timer. I’d set it for 25 minutes, write like crazy, then take a 5-minute break. It helped, a little. I was getting the words down, but it still felt kind of forced.
Find somthing to insist
- Use timer
- Keep writing
- Don’t stop!
Then, yesterday, I had a bit of a breakthrough. I was struggling to start, just staring at the blank screen. Then, it is not means to have 750 words, just need to keep writing. And, somehow, the words started to flow. I wrote about a conversation I had with a friend, and it actually felt… good. Like I was actually saying something.
Today, I tried to channel that same feeling. I still used the timer, but I focused more on just letting my thoughts unfold. I started writing as the way of talking to myself, the feeling is getting better!
So, 750 words? Yeah, I hit it. But more importantly, I’m starting to feel like I’m actually getting somewhere with this whole writing thing. I wrote down my plan, and shared it with my friend, then he gave me some very good advice. It’s still a mess, most of the time, but it’s my mess, and I’m slowly figuring it out. I’m kinda looking forward to tomorrow, which is something I haven’t felt in a while. We’ll see how that goes…
