My first car: a Chevrolet Vega, stick shift. A cute, but awful car.

Hi everyone and welcome to Day One! A few things to keep in mind for the weeks ahead:

  • Set goals and intentions for yourselves if that’s what motivates you, but leave lots of wiggle room for, well, life.

  • Share your work in the comments each day if you wish!

  • Read and encourage your fellow writers and let’s keep to positive feedback, say what works, what made you smile, gasp, tear up, etc.

  • Feel absolutely free to make suggestions or recommendations along the way!

  • I’m planning a revision series for another month, so for now, put editing and revision waaaaay to the back of your mind and just write.


Okay! Day One: Giving Yourself Permission

"The truth is that virtually anybody who is trying to do anything worthwhile at all, especially creatively, has seated in his or her brain, a horrible homunculus that blows a dreadful little trumpet, and only knows one song—a song that goes, “You are not good enough. Why bother?” ~Nick Cave
