Good Monday morning! Is everyone rested from the weekend? I hope you did something fun as well. It's important to give your inner writing muse rest AND fun to keep those wonderful, wacky writing ideas flowing through you.
So, bright and early today, we are going to take a look at our lists of things we do for fun. These are the things we should be writing about. Because what we love to do, we excel at, we become experts at, eventually. Plus, we love to teach others about what we love because we want others to feel the joy in these activities. What better way to fuel your writing than to write about what you love?
For your writing practice today, I want you to choose one fun thing from your list and then start another list. On this second list, I want you to write in big letters at the top of the page the fun thing you chose. Then start a mini-brainstorming session by writing down EVERYTHING that comes to your mind about that fun activity. Don't censor your thoughts! Let your writing muse go crazy with this exercise. After about 15 minutes, stop recording your thoughts. You should have plenty of ideas on the page by that point.
Pick one idea and write for 30 minutes without stopping on that idea. If you want, post what you wrote to the comments section of this blog. On Wednesday, we will work on developing a sellable writing piece from today's writing practice.
Get writing and remember--have fun!
Coach Sue
