Write!
As I type, Josh is driving us toward Charlotte for a birthday trip to SCAROWINDS! This trip is something we used to do to celebrate my birthday when we were dating, but we stopped going for a couple of years. I am VERY excited about reviving this tradition tonight.
So I decided to make good use of my time during this drive, and write! I’m typing this on a wireless keyboard connected via Bluetooth to my iPhone (sidenote: we live in the FUTURE) — all to kickstart a project I’m very excited to share with you guys.
A blogger I’m a big fan of, Michelle at FWHO, posted on her tumblr yesterday about a project called 750 words, in which you pledge to write 750 words a day for an entire month.
To make the pledge, you sign up at their website, 750words.com. When you take the challenge, you set your reward for success, and you set your consequences for failure – and once you submit, your pledge is posted publicly for God and all the other participants to see. Accountability!
As far as what you write, you are posting online daily, but your writing isn’t made public unless you choose to give out the link, which I like.
I’m excited to add this to my list of October goals and get started on making writing a habit again.
And now – off to Scarowinds! I hope your weekend is as scary-awesome as mine is shaping up to be!
do i have to use big words? i’m not so good with big words…
Indubitably
