Story Challenge

Since the afterglow of NaNoWriMo has been fading - I've been thinking up ways to help me keep writing:

2. Short Story Saturday  - since I save an unbelievable amount of images - I thought I'd go for an

Ooh I love your writing prompt idea! That pic is gorgeous and I can't wait to see what you make of it :)

Thanks! :) I can't wait to start writing - I like pictures that convey a place or a mood.

Wow, what a gorgeous image. I may have to write a little thing myself!

Love that you're trying a daily word goal again. I know the same methods don't work for everyone, but it's one that's always helped me. I think the really important thing with it though is not to spiral into despair if you miss a day. Call yourself on it, yes, but don't let guilt take over. Say "Well, damn. I didn't do it. I'm going to have to make sure I do it tomorrow" instead of "Oh my god, I suck, I've ruined my streak and now it's all worthless." One day does not a streak ruin!

Thanks for the tip :) I think I'll approach the goal better (mentally) this time if I miss it.

That's a REALLY good idea, the writing prompt thing. I've been finidng it hard to get back into writing after NaNo, but this looks like a fun way to do so. I might try this, as well. :D

Awesome :) I'm thinking I'll keep it as a weekly thing.
