One of my goals is to overcome “resistance” when it comes to the writing. There is never going to be a perfect time and place for it either. However, cleaning up the place would help. And that is a whole other issue.
I put the “Writing Prompts” app on my Kindle. It has a whole bunch of prompts that you can go randomly about. I came across one. It just sat there before I went about writing about it. It just felt better to apply myself to doing something with it.
Here is my list in regards to this app and the process.
- This are meant to be short pieces. I hate getting caught up in a specific word count value.
- It is more of trusting my initial instincts about the prompt. And going with them.
- It is not about overloading on notes.
- The first draft is meant to get the ideas and the broad points down.
- Remembering: Rewriting is more important.
- First Draft: Door Closed.
- Second Draft On. Door Opened (That means feedback and comments)
- This is an exercise towards building “bigger and better”. It is really more about the later. It is about getting a better routine working.
I am not going to put this prompt before the posting which is coming later on.
Here is the preview for it.
