GIFT #2: HOW TO DEVELOP A DAILY WRITING PRACTICE

I hope I made a strong enough case for daily writing to make you want to try it! If so, here's an audio of a tele-workshop I gave in March on how to start and sustain a daily writing practice.

GIFT #3: THE 14-DAY WRITING CHALLENGE

I mentioned an experiment at the end of the call and I want to gift you with the opportunity to try it. It's a gift because I have to pay for you to participate. I'm happy to do so but please do this only if you are serious, only if you've never done it before, and it's only available to the first 100 people.

What is it?

It's a chance to experiment with daily writing in a supportive environment, for free, and with a little daily dose of electronic love from me. Starting July 16th, I challenge you to write for 30 -60 minutes every day, Monday through Friday, for the next 14 week days. At the end of that time, you can evaluate for yourself: 1) did daily writing increase or decrease your productivity? and b) did participation in a community increase/decrease your enjoyment of the writing process? I can't wait to see how you do!
