The holiday season has arrived once again, and sure, that can be all-consuming. And yeah, it’s 2020, which has been a shit show of epic proportions.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t spend a little time writing.
And by a little, I mean a very little.
Because we can’t do all the things all the time, but we CAN do some of the things some of the time. Which brings us to . . .
The Second Annual(ish) Half-Assed Holiday Writing Challenge!
Yes, you read that right. This challenge is one part writing, one part community, and two (or more) (perhaps many more) (oh god is it January yet?!) parts vodka-spiked eggnog and matzah crackers for breakfast.
What it’s all about:
Writing. We love it. We need it. We don’t always have time for it. Especially during the winter holidays.
But the Half-Assed Holiday Writing Challenge? We can manage that (probably) (maybe) (more vodka-spiked eggnog, please).
Here’s how it works: I’ve provided twenty six intriguing prompts to spark your poetry/fiction/journaling/pick-your-favorite-writing-flavor.
You pick ten of those.
Yep. Just ten.
And you write on those, one at a time, over the course of December, as you are able.
Because we can’t do all the things all the time, but we can do some of the things some of the time, and maybe some of those things can involve a smidge of writing.
