Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow

Today is Day 69 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.

Did you write yesterday? Life is an endless parade of challenges, exciting experiences, and thrilling activities all competing for your time, attention, and energy. The glitter and glam captures your attention, turns your head, and you forget about doing what makes you happy. While having multiple interests speaks to your personal freedom and your right to choose, the fragmented focus can keep you from following your passion and derail the attainment of your goals.

What activity lights your eyes, sets fire to your soul, and penetrates every fiber of your being? If it makes you happy to sing, then sing. If your feet yearn to dance, allow them to waltz you around the room. If you are compelled to build, teach, run, give comfort, or host dinner parties or live events, please follow your heart. If you are called to write, make the space in your day to find your voice, open your laptop, your notebook, grab a pen, and record the words and stories that are begging to be told. I promise you there is someone in this world whose lives will be enriched by the passion you pursue.

Today is Day 61 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.

Did you write yesterday? How did you spend your 2020 bonus day? We finished February. Yippee. An additional leap day did nothing to ease its perception of never-ending gloom. We have journeyed past the gray and dreary portion of our year. How did you fare? Did you complete 2/12 (1/6 for you math types) of your writing goals?

If you have faltered on your journey or have abandoned your New Year’s Resolutions, there is still hope. Ancient Romans used the Calendar of Romulus which totaled ten months and 304 days. March, the first month, was named for Mars, the god of war, an agricultural guardian. What we call January and February were 61 days of winter. Maybe the Romans considered the cold damp weather too awful to acknowledge and deemed hibernation a better option. If you just woke up, you might be a direct descendant of Caesar. Beware the Ides of March.

March heralds in Daylight Saving Time when we spring ahead, and the Vernal Equinox. We welcome bright sunlight winning the battle against darkness. March is a month of happy celebrations including Pi Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and March Madness. Be sure to fill out your brackets, place your bets, and check your scores. But don’t neglect the important work of creating your own “Hoop Dreams.”

Today is Day 60 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.

Did you write yesterday? If you didn’t, what stopped you? Self-doubt can leave you feeling like a deer in the headlights, petrified, off-balance, and powerless. Instead of using your precious minutes to type even a handful of words on the page, you allow yourself to be distracted.

Perhaps you stare at a blank screen, convinced your work recounts an incoherent trip along a winding road leading you nowhere. Your vivid imagination has forsaken you, leaving you in a void of uninspired darkness. You suspect you are a fraud who will never be good enough.

Breathe. Think about the adventure you want your audience to experience, explore your plot, meet with your protagonist, and learn about his hero’s journey. Practice composing your favorite scene in your head. Eliminated distractions, lock worry in a cage with your evil antagonist, and just write. Remember what you love about writing and remind yourself this is about creating a world for your ideal reader. The story is the path you share, and your destination is the beginning of another tale.
