We all begin the year with various writing resolutions, but then real life gets in the way. So why not have one resolution a month?
January
Don’t think about it, just write. Set a timer for ten minutes and begin writing on the theme of new beginnings.
February
Write a short piece, which includes the words, Summer, Knife and Jealousy.
March
Describe a winter scene in 500 words. Be poetic.
April
Write a short piece on the theme of water.
May
Imagine that you have just confronted your deepest fear. Write down how you feel.
June
Write about an intruder.
July
Invent a character who has a problem that is major to him, but minor to other people.
August
Write a letter to your local newspaper about something that you feel strongly about.
September
Look out the first story you ever wrote and see what you can do to improve it.
October
Describe the view from your window.
November
Describe in detail a character you dislike.
December
Write a Christmas carol or poem.
Happy writing, and thank you for reading my blog 🙂
What an excellent idea. 🙂
thanks Diane xx
Happy New Year, Della – great idea about staggering resolutions (does it count, if you just postone the same one?!)
Hope you have a great 2013 – and thanks again for all your help this past year.
Final chapter of first draft is almost done 🙂

Thanks again

Happy New Year to you too Karla – yes I’m sure it counts 🙂
and it’s quality not quantity
Thanks, Della, for these ideas. For some reason they have just reached me in March – when, this year, finding a Winter Scene (snow, and more, yesterday) to describe is not too difficult 🙂
Hi Penny, for some reason they just reached me in March too. I think they must have got sent out by mistake. Tee hee, oh well, enjoy them 🙂
