I made some tea and looked at some prompts I had written down a few weeks ago. And randomly selected one of them. And just by doing this, I started a new novel. This isn't what I intended, I was just going to do a short creative piece. But it's 4 pages/1508 words right now.
But I'm so excited to be writing and working on it! The idea I've been playing around with for a few weeks in my head. The genre is paranormal/preternatural/spiritual/fantasy. Unlike other novels I've worked on, I'm doing this one from a first-person perspective, which is a lot of fun and I'm enjoying doing something different. I also worked more on my poetry book, which is 116 pages. This has been a very happy, enjoyable day. Are there any other writers here? |

Congrats!
I'm taking a poetry class that starts this week. I don't write much but I know I have something to say. |

I mainly write when I need to get out my feelings. Nothing I'd want to publish.
I'm glad you're having fun with it though. |

NaNoRiMo is in November and I'm ready to participate! Even excited to do so.
I think if you have something to say, then you should absolutely write! Poetry is a personal passion of mine. It's a way to say SO much with so few words. And it can have such an impact. Even if you don't share writing, I encourage it. I like to make lists of prompts and work with them. If anyone is interested in some writing prompts, let me know and I'll share them. Writing prompts are a good way to break through writer's block. You don't have to have a plan to write. In fact, most of the time I sit down without a plan. The novel I started as a writing prompt I had come up with and suddenly it transformed into something I could work into a novel. All these ideas flooded into me. But that wasn't even my intention. I just love to write. |
