August Writing Challenge
Hello friends and new friends!
Welcome.
Are you ready to step up to the plate? The month of August has now become a challenge for all of you.
A writing challenge.
I want invite you to share 4 pieces of your writing that are under 100 words each.
Some of you have already shared some of your writing with me. Others have even created their own accounts here on Substack. This is fantastic and now I want to invite you to share your favourite 4 pieces of writing with me.
Haven’t written anything before? No problem! This is purely about getting outside your comfort zone and taking the next step.
I will select a number of you to share your writing with the group at the end of the month on our zoom call. I will also give each selected writer the opportunity to share their insights and inspiration for their writing.
If you’re completely new here and are just finding your bearings, I encourage you to take a look through some of my previous writings first. Here are some poems that have resonated well with other members.
If and when you feel ready to join the challenge, please let me know!
Hey you!
Yeah, I’m talking to you!
The time has come to get outside of your comfort zone!
What is your heart telling you? What are you celebrating? What beauty is your life asking you to champion?
What pain are you feeling that you can accurately describe while giving yourself the grace to move through it?
What have you remembered that now holds greater meaning and value? Why will you never forget this again?
What have you had enough of? Are you ready to do whatever it takes to create something new?
These are some questions to inspire your heart to open. Use them if you wish, or write from your own starting point.
Remember, try and keep each piece of writing under 100 words.
This creative constraint is designed to encourage you to be selective with your words and refine your expression.
Let’s get writing!
Let everyone know you are accepting The August Writing Challenge by leaving the comment,
“I’m in!”
Where do I share my writing?
Come back to this post later this week when you’re ready to share your first piece of writing. Make sure to post your writing as a comment and not as a reply to a previous message. It will be much easier for me to find!
Next week I will share more insights and helpful questions to open your heart for your second piece of writing.
