Day 49

Leave every inhibition, fear, and façade away from the story. Just write. Whatever you're holding back, let it out.

Challenge: Don't edit as you write.

Tip: Do this at least once a week and whenever you're bothered by something. At first, you may feel heavy or weary, but after a bit you'll feel wonderful and refreshed.

Ready. Set. Catharsis.

Day 45

Go to the ends of the earth. For something. For someone. For anything.

Challenge: Go farther.

Tip: You should feel everything you put into your writing. The more something feels, the more it's real.

Ready. Set. Travel.

Day 33

Be fearless. Write what you're afraid to admit.

Challenge: Write it in a Haiku or a series of two or three Haikus (First line: 5 syllables; Second line: 7 Syllables; third line: 5 syllables) It's often difficult to write a good haiku that captures something as perfectly as a poem in whatever form you prefer.

Tip: If it makes you uncomfortable, don't read what you write after you finish. Don't write it to be published or be on display, write it to practice flowing your words together with emotion and honesty. If you want, rip it up or delete it when your finished. It can also be wonderful catharsis.

Ready. Set. Don't fear.
