phase 1 of "revival of katie's writing" has been initiated
Finally! Motivation is still lacking, but I now have something I'm hoping will help. It's a little book called "The Pocket Muse" by Monica Wood. In it are random quotes and tips to do with writing AND writing ideas/assignments! I really felt that in order for me to finally get back into writing, I needed some structure. I considered taking a class just so I would have someone telling me what to write and be forced to actually do it within an alloted time. But classes take more time and money than I have.
This book, however, was affordable. And at least I have someone telling me what to write or at least what to start with. My goal is to complete at least a first draft of whatever writing assignment I turn to in the book in one sitting. Or I at least have to write until Kyle arrives at home. It's usually at least an hour before he gets home so I thought that would be a good start.
Tonight will be my first attempt at this new method. I peeked ahead and the writing assignment is "write about someone who is pretending to be something or someone he is not". Lots of possibilities there. I think my biggest problem will be settling on what the character is pretending.
Check back tomorrow to see how it went.
