One of my favorite ways of kickstarting the writing brain is to interact with a beloved piece of media. Especially one that makes you feel something! Whether it's a favorite story, novel, fanfic, visual art, movie, show, game, or anything else, just taking in storytelling you enjoy can do double duty as rest and inspiration.

So, visit one of those today! And please share with the class~ 👀👀

[#275 | One More Try] Challenge Post

Challenge 275
ONE MORE TRY

You’ve tried before, and it didn’t go well. Maybe something catastrophic went wrong, or maybe you just couldn’t quite pull it off. But whatever it is, it still needs to be done, and it’s your job to do it – so you need to give it one more try.

What are your characters trying to do? Why did they fail last time? Will they succeed this time, and what will it take?

Write a story about one more try.

BONUS GOAL: “Third time’s the charm.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, September 29 at 9:00PM EST.

If there's one thing I've learned from a life with chronic illnesses, it's that daily energy is not constant, no matter what we do. Some days you can do a lot, and some days just making it to the next day is a lot. Writing is like that, too.

And sometimes, even when you have the energy for writing and no other tasks that need to get done instead, you still just don't want to write. And that's OK, too. Our brains need rest the same as our bodies. Besides, when you come back to your writing, you'll be that much fresher and eager to do it.

Forgive me a few moments of astrology talk, but I promise it's leading somewhere.

Today was a partial solar eclipse (not visible in my part of the world, but holy cats, was it felt!) and the astro-weather has been, uh... well, it's been! And when you're in these kinds of times where brains might be buzzing less with ideas and more with static, it's important to give yourself grace if you're not "as productive" as you want to be, however that looks to you.

So make sure you take time to rest! If you've written anything at all today, congrats! Celebrate it and take some time to decompress. If writing hasn't happened at all today, that's fine! Read over a piece of your writing you're proud of (whether finished or a WIP) and do something fun as a reward for being kind to yourself.
