I've been wanting to start a project 365 for months now. To practice my photography, I wanted to start a P-a-D (picture a day) project, but i realized how overly boring my daily routine is, so I really won't get much practice in taking pictures.
A few days ago, a friend told me to start a writing project 365--write something everyday. I guess that'd work, since my creative juices have long dried out. But my monsters are so much bigger than I am (writer's block, un-inspiration, cliche, being boring) that I'm a little afraid to start.
Hmmmm....what to do now?
they are only as big as you make them....:)
ReplyDeletethanks. that really makes a lot of sense. :)
ReplyDeleteYou shouldn't be afraid to start... writing everyday is a great way to keep your creative juices flowing and finding a consistent voice. You don't need to write something good everyday; the quality doesn't matter that much. You'll have good days and bad days. The important thing is to learn to write despite the constant nagging of your inner-critic.
ReplyDeleteSorry for random lecture... I just know that I've gone through periods where I have written everyday, and periods when I haven't and my writing /always/ starts becoming easier and better after I'm about a week in.
Take the leap :)
