Take a walk with your creativity.
Where are you going? What are you thinking? How are you feeling?
What do you see? Hear? Smell?
Everyone’s path is different.
Describe yours. Use whatever method of creativity that comes naturally to you.

30 in 30: Day 17 – When life happens…
All the best plans get messed up in someone. Very few plans are executed as they were originally intended. That is life.
Take a moment to create a plan b and include it in your writing. Whatever your concept of plan b is, work it in. It is essentially the alternative but feel free to let your creativity roll with it however it sees fit.
The only rule is that you have fun with it!

30 in 30: Day 14 – Go ahead. Get it over with.
Okay, so you know that topic you have been avoiding. You know, the scene you really don’t want to write. There is always that poem you have on your mind but don’t want to go there just yet.
Guess what, tomorrow might not happen.
WRITE IT NOW!
No matter how awkward or troublesome it may be, put it down on paper or type it out. You can always trash, burn, or delete it later. You never know, it may add something wonderful to your collection or story. If anything, you will have leapt that hurdle and can move on to the next one.
Happy Writing!

30 in 30: Day 13 – Toss in some randomness
Toss in five new words. By new words I mean words that you would not typically use otherwise. You can open to random pages in the dictionary, look at a few word-of-the-day lists, or break out the thesaurus. Expand your vocabulary or make your character sound pretentious.
Get your list of words. Find thirty minutes to write. Then challenge yourself to write using those words in that time frame. Make sure that it remotely makes sense.
But more importantly, have fun!

30 in 30: Day Ten – Insert random story
Throughout your travels, take a moment to people watch. Pick a particularly interesting person out. Add that person to your mix. Do not approach them or ask them about who they are. Imagine it. Write their story. What brought them to the place where you saw them? What is their current set of circumstances? What goes on in their mind?
Variety in a longer story adds spice. It can add freshness to a collection of poems, essays, or short stories.
Have some fun with it!
Happy Writing!

30 in 30: Day 5 – Where are we?
Before I get into this one I want to remind you that each prompt can be used to write a stand alone piece, a collection of pieces, or serve as parts that come together to equal a novella or novel.
So now let’s focus on setting. Where are you in this story you want to tell? Even a poem tells a story so don’t feel limited if that is the format you are writing in. Take sometime to describe the setting you have in your mind. Try your best not to simply tell. Show it. Showing it allows the readers imagination to get a jump start.
Just remember to have fun with it!

30 in 30: Day Two – The other side
So yesterday you created your character and tried to sell them.
Today… let’s be realistic. No one is perfect, even in fiction. So no matter what form you are writing in we need to face flaws.
Take some time to be honest about the flaws of your character. These flaws are what makes your character realistic and gives them depth.
Go ahead. Get creative.

30 in 30 : Day One – Where to begin?
Let’s get a little different with this 30 day challenge. At the end, wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a collection or an almost finished something? If you aren’t writing a novel you could put together a collection of short stories, poems or essays. Whatever you decide to do make sure you are really stretching your creativity.
So… it is day one. Where shall we begin?
I like to begin with a character. Create a scene or a poem that describes your fictional (or real) character. Consider this the first impression that you WANT your readers to get. Play up all the highlights. You are basically selling your character to the reader.
Go for it!
