Day 4: A Tiny Writing Experiment
An April Challenge: Day 4
In April, to celebrate National Poetry Month, I will post 30 days of Tiny Writing Experiments. I invite you to come along for the ride!
The experiments may lead to poems, or they may not, but they will be short creativity bursts you can play and have fun with!
I love self-inflicted challenges. They get me writing. I have done multiple 30 day and 100 day challenges. I enjoy a 5 and 10 day challenge too!
After listening to several podcast episodes and reading the book TINY EXPERIMENTS by Anne-Laure Le Cunuff, I started thinking about tiny writing experiments. If I am writing them for myself, I might as well share them!
What tiny experiments are you conducting?
I invite you to join me! Let’s get started!
Day 4 Tiny Experiment:
Schedule yourself some time.
What is something you are putting off? It could be something you need to do or want to do but cannot seem to get it working.
You could schedule 15 minutes stacked with something you do already regularly (like having coffee, or after lunch). Actually putting it on the calendar helps too!
I cannot seem to get myself in the chair to revise. If I schedule 15 minutes at my desk after my daily run I want to see how many finished pieces I can get done. I will try this for 2 weeks.
I scheduled a massage earlier this week.
I am scheduling some time with writing friends!
What will you schedule today?
I scheduled some Zoom time with my writer friends to have tea and write together. Thanks for all of these great ideas!
I am late to the game on this one so will certainly going back to check out the first three days. Today, I will schedule a therapy appointment. I have been trying to get back into talk therapy to deal with a few issues that have come up but cannot seem to find the time to do the research to find a therapist that takes my sad, sad insurance. Today is the day!
