Hopeful for the Upcoming Month

   Posted by: Scott    in Writing

I’m going to try harder to post more this month. I’ll have to do better than I did with my potd resolution. I’m going to try and post every day this month. I’m also trying to get more writing done, as well as reading more. I’ve been reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, which is an extremely interesting take on what the old world gods did when they came to America. I want to start reading The Artist way by Julia Cameron. It has several exercises for writers and artists to do that helps them maintain their creativity. I hoping this will help me get back into the swing of writing. I’m also planning on spending more time listening to actual music instead of all the podcasts that I’ve been listening to. I have something like 30 podcasts and most of these shows are 30 min to an hour long and come out on a weekly basis. I need to cut back, listen to something that will help my creativity. I also what to have time for my friends and my family, so I need to balance this all, and schedule time for everything that I want to do. I think that making an hour a day aside for writing may be too much but a more reasonable thing might be trying to set aside 5 hours a week to write and split it up when I have the time to do that, 2 hours here and hour there etc. I also want to start to develop my writing and make it better, more polished. I’m hoping that by the time November comes around I’ll be able to do NaNoWriMo. We’ll see, I’ll aim high and see where my shot lands and use that as my starting point for next month. Being hopeful.
