These were my mistakes








In my grandmother's house








I'm thinking of …













Write about the best of intentions






Write about a time you wanted to leave but couldn't






You're waiting...







Write about taking risks










The Effects of Writing Practice


If becoming a better writer were the only benefit of writing practice, it would be enough. But, like so many other practices, what you get is often a whole lot more than you signed up for. Call them bonuses, rewards, extras, gifts, fringe benefits, or dividends, these are the promises inherent in writing practice.
  • Daily writing-practice sessions will improve your writing.
  • Writing will become easier and be less forced.
  • You’ll take more risks in your writing.
  • You’ll become less self-conscious; your writing will be looser, freer.
  • You’ll learn your rhythms as a writer, to trust your ups and downs.
  • You’ll find out what matters to you as a writer and what you want to write about.
  • You’ll discover your secrets and glimpse your shadow.
  • You’ll have an opportunity to grieve what needs t be grieved, and to heal.
  • You’ll feel good about yourself as writer and experience increased self-esteem.
  • You’ll fill notebooks, which may mean the beginnings, middles, and endings of some projects you didn’t even know you wanted to write.
     The effects of daily writing practice may not come immediately and they may be subtle in their appearance, but keep in mind there are those who believe the tiny flutter of a butterfly’s wings in China creates hurricanes off the coast of Mexico.
