You know that feeling you have when you know you need to stretch? You can almost feel the stretch in your muscles, in your rib cage, wherever, and your body is practically itching to get it done? Have you ever felt that mentally?
I've been feeling the need to stretch my mental and writing chops. I don't know how, exactly, to do it though. Should I write a short story? Should I write a Bible study series? Heck, should I take inspiration from National Novel Writing Month, which, granted, we are nearing the end of that, and write a novel??? Okay, maybe that's a bit much. How about a screen-play, then? Obviously, I'm not looking to get published or anything, but I'd like a project. Something I can do day by day and stretch myself, and I'm not sure what to do. Or where to begin. But I feel the itch. And it needs to be obeyed.
Any suggestions?
Here is an idea that is really cheesy and you may have already done:
ReplyDeleteWrite a series of letters to your children (present and future) telling about your family, traditions, relationships, and important events. Keep them short and sweet, focusing on the things that most define you. Don't be afraid to tackle the hard stuff. If you don't want to share the results, then just put it away to be found (and probably tresured) later in life.
Hmm... that sounds like a great Thanksgiving/Christmas activity for myself.
Have fun!
