How to Use the Daily Writing Prompts
The daily writing prompts are meant to help you make writing a daily practice. It’s amazing how ten minutes a day can add up! Having said that, the prompts are like a train. They come every day. If you miss one, you do not have to check it off your list before catching another one.
The prompt is only there to trigger your practice, however that looks for you. Instead of using the prompts to write for 10 minutes every day (or an even fiercer habit than 10 minutes a day), you may prefer to take an hour on a Saturday to work with five or six prompts. It all depends on your state of mind.
As long as you’re connecting with your creative, receptive state of mind as you write, your writing is worthwhile. However long you do it, however often you can manage it in your life. It’s the practice that counts. It’s your state of mind that counts. And these little daily writing invitations can help.
Bottom line: do whatever you need to do to keep your writing habit glittery. Put a fence around it.
Protect the sparkle. It’s not the prompts that matter: it’s the
sparkle.
Plus, you may end up writing a short story that you really love with one of our daily writing prompts, in which case, be sure to consider entering our annual
Little Bird Writing Contest.
