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 41

Write the perfect summer ballad.

Challenge: Try writing a tanka. It's a bit like a haiku. There are five lines of varying syllables: first - 5, second - 7, third - 5, fourth - 7, fifth - 7. (5/7/5/7/7)

Tip: If you're having trouble with inspiration, find pictures of what you're writing about. Print some out and post them around your writing area. Listen to songs that spark a relevant memory or feeling. Surround yourself with things that bring along the feeling you need.

Ready. Set. Summertime.
