One Apple A Day #63
In the past 62 days, I wrote every day. Almost every day. I skipped a day or two in March when I was in Italy visiting the family. I learned a few things, but I’ll write about them after day 90. The purpose of this daily writing exercise is to improve my writing skills. I’m not a native English speaker so writing a good piece is quite a challenge. I think it’s always important to start from the fundamentals. I’m referring to grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary. To improve these skills, I decided to focus on the “how” and I didn’t pick any “what”. So I wrote small stories, dialogues, free thoughts about whatever came to my mind. I did some writing exercise about strutcture and review.
As a result of my wandering across different topics, genres and styles, I started many storylines that I left open. Hanging on the lines of some posts.
I have to admit that sometimes I struggled to find the inspiration to write something. Even if my focus is on the “techniques”, I need a seed on which I can test them.
Today is one of those days. I was staring at the blinking prompto on the white screen without a clue on what I could write about.
So I thought; “why not picking the most promising storylines that I started in the past weeks, and move them forward anytime I have a lack of fresh inspirations?”.
I identified the following storylines I would like to work on. I chose them because, I want to know how they end.
My last 5 minutes (Days #58, #59 and #60)
The guinea pig (Days #52 and #53)
The yellow packet (From day #42 to #47)
