So today is the final day of the month-long program of free writes - "enjoy" is the last word on the prompt list. I'm thinking this is no accident. I'm betting that most of the folks participating will talk about how much they enjoy writing.
Truly, this has been a great experience for me. It really gets me back to the regular rhythm of writing; I feel guilty if I miss a day (and I had one day where I had to post three different pieces - it drove me to distraction).
I do enjoy writing. This kind of thing is a little too contemplating-the-navel for me - I'm not sure anyone really cares how I feel about little things (or even big things). But it's been fun to try to come up with maybe an unexpected take on a word. And frankly, the words haven't been very challenging.
SO - I think I will continue. But for my writing prompts, I'm going to get down that big old-fashioned dictionary that I still have and just let it fall open to any old page, and I'm going to write about the first word that catches my eye. I'm still limit the piece to five minutes. I like having to get it down and get it published and not worry about editing. Totally out of my comfort zone.
Enjoy!
