Self-Care Creativity Day Three
The hardest part with most of these challenges is finding time to do them. Everyday life doesn’t stop just because you have a new creativity challenge.
How do you find time to do the things that you want to do, that allow you to be creative, and bring you joy? If you struggle with this, brainstorm ways that you can work it into your schedule. Where can you carve out 15 minutes two or three times into your day?

30 in 30: Day 29 – Embrace change
Change something about your project today. Change your character in some way. Alter their perception or change their mind about something important. Change your direction. Turn left when you were clearly supposed to go right. Change the way you write a poem. Pick today to rhyme. Change the way you approach an essay. If you typically do a lot of research, go off the top of your head today.
Embrace change today and have some fun with it!

30 in 30: Day 28 – What is your background?
Write out the background for either yourself or one of your characters. It could be about you or the character personally, as in their history. Or it could be about genealogy and ancestry. Be sure to relate this to who you or your character is currently (present moment in the story). Make connections. See how it ties together. Insert the sense of discovery with it.
Have fun!

30 in 30: Day 27 – Insert your favorite dish
Give something edible a staring role. Take the focus off of conflict, drama, or whatever else is going on in your writing and focus on the food.
Make sure to use all five senses.
Most of all, make sure to have fun writing!

30 in 30: Day Twelve – Turn left… here!
Okay. Insert an argument. Let this argument start out with some tie in to what you have written previously or something deeply rooted to your character or theme. Then let the argument go left.
You know… when an argument takes on a life of it’s own and is no longer about what it started out to be about.
Yes. Do that.
Take it there.
The more absurd the better.
This makes for beautiful poetry and prose. It takes the reader on a journey that they are captivated with even though they clearly realize they are going in circles.
Have some fun today!

NaNoWriMo prompts – 27/30 & 28/30
27/30
Make a list of 5 to 10 things you dislike/hate about yourself (or your character hates about themselves).
Now write a love note, poem, or story honoring those things and how they make you (or your character) unique.
28/30
Write about a smile, and how thankful you are for it. Write about more than one if you are so moved. If you are a fiction writer, write about a smile that changes your character’s life or outlook.
Happy Writing!
