Writing Challenges

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t write nearly as much as I should do, so I’m extremely rusty. I used to write a heck of a lot of fanfiction – don’t laugh! – which had me writing to something resembling a schedule mostly because I liked the fact that I was getting comments. Eventually that novelty wore off and the fandoms that I had once been utterly in love with didn’t have such a hold on me anymore, resulting in very scant updates and the eventual abandonment of the older of the two stories I was still writing. I feel sad about that, to be honest, as I so loved writing those stories.

But back to the subject at hand, I have decided to at least try and write something on a daily basis, whether it’s prose or poetry or just a blog post about something inconsequential. To help me, I got my hands on two books (What If?: Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers and The Pocket Muse: Ideas and Inspiration for Writing, the latter of which is a ridiculously pretty book) with some writing exercises and tips for people who want to try and get into the habit of writing daily.

Wish me luck!

EDIT TO ADD: I suppose this would also include having character interviews and the like. :D That sounds kind of fun!
