#Producteev changed date update
Update August 2013: I’m enjoying finding other writers who share similar passions. My rules are that I have to publish something on any site I have publishing rights to every day this month. There are several writing challenges going on this month ( National Novel Writing Month, Copyblogger’s EBookWriMo Challenge, I’m sure there are more), but I’m not planning on writing an e-book or a novel this month (although I’d be happy to take up that challenge some other month!). I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. “ “For Christ sake write and don’t worry about what the boys will say nor whether it will be a masterpiece nor what. Whew, exhilarating.Įrnest Hemingway wrote in a letter to F. I’m hoping, I’m even smiling to myself (no, really) that I’ll look back on this day with pride and say that was the day that it all began. Also, as John points out, hey, it was just an experiment, so I don’t have to talk about failure, I can just talk about what happened. If it’s a big disaster, oh well, it was only a month. The nice part about the “monthly” is that is makes it bite size, I can handle it, it doesn’t scare me, I can achieve it.
When oh when will that day come where I learn to write on a regular basis? John Muldoon’s Monthly Experiments has me thinking that I discovered (or he did) something of a secret: if I can manage to do something for a month, maybe it can become a habit. Not ten days, not ten months, but ten years. I’ve been wanting to write on a regular basis for, oh, a decade. I think of editing some old work and cringe. I suffer from the typical writer’s block.
