March exercise (late, sorry about that--I've had separation anxiety)


April Excercise


EXERCISE:

This month, you have two choices -- either work on something current or work from the writing prompt below. The point is to go down a hidden path, to try out a "what if" with your current work. If you're writing feature articles, maybe try one from a first person perspective. If you're journaling, maybe try writing your day as a fictional story. If you're writing a mystery, maybe try making the protagonist into the villain for one experimental scene (you don't have to use it, just try this new tact and see what arises).


A Question


Just a quick question: Are we expected to post only our monthly exercises here? Or can we post other exercises, or simply other writing? -Jo


The New April Exercise is up now.


For those of you who kept getting the March exercise yesterday, I think the April activity is up now. No joke!!!(lol)


A newbie question???


I've always enjoyed writing, but have rarely finished a story that was more than 20 pages. What types of methods do you use while writing to keep going?

My main problems are lack of motivation, I get caught up with other things, my middle just starts to fall apart, or I forget where I was when I stopped last. Gosh! I sound so unorganized. I have tried to write outlines and take notes, while writing, so I remember characters and their relationships with one another.


April's lesson and exercise are up! (m)


No, it's not an April Fool's joke. They're really there - at both links, too! I'm so excited that I can't sit still.

I'd better calm down and be honest with my writing self. What do I really want to write? It can't possibly be everything. Where do I want to write? Why, right where I am, of course, wherever that happens to be.

I'd better work on that exercise. Maybe I'm not really a female Raymond Chandler. That might be disappointing but I've recovered from worse news.
