Writing Challenge

 September feels like a new beginning for me.

A fresh start.

Back to normal.

I have loved that September feeling for most of my life.


…


Since I started thinking of myself as a writer, it was probably natural that autumn would become significant in my annual writing cycle.


  • In 2010 I started this blog and have posted something here pretty much every month in the years since.
  • That was also the year that I began participating in NaNoWriMo - and have completed that project 17 times. 
  • I soon realized that I might want to start thinking about my November writing project as early as September.
  • I have built some excellent writing habits through these 17 years.


So here we are - and here I am.

It is September and time to start my writing year.

Time to get back in gear.

To rebuild my writing habit.

To stretch those writing muscles.



I hereby declare my September writing plan.

This month…

  • I will pay attention to that habit of writing at least 300 words/day.  
  • I also wish to bump up my posting frequency here - aiming for weekly posts.  I am putting that back into my reminder calendar at this very moment.


And so, my writing friends, do you have a September writing plan?

Could you use a fresh start?

My only advice is to keep it simple and do-able.


Happy September new year!
