On Mondays, we write. No matter what. That’s the promise, right, kittens?

Belts were so very useful.

INSTRUCTIONS

Everyone: Look at the writing prompt. And write.

Beginner: Your job is to build stamina.

  • Day 1: 5 minutes.
  • Day 2: 7 minutes.
  • Day 3: 9 minutes.
  • Day 4: 11 minutes.
  • Day 5: 13 minutes.
  • Day 6: 15 minutes.
  • Day 7: 15 minutes. 
  • Stay at 15 minutes for two or three weeks. Then, ramp it up.

Intermediates:

Set a timer for 15 minutes. Write a SCENE: ensure the piece you’re writing has a beginning, middle, and an end that makes sense. If you’re not at the end when the times goes off… keep on writing.

Advanced:

Who needs a timer, right? Write to a natural stop… Subvert the prompt so that it serves your WIP or current writing project. Everything is source material, everything is a tool.

Advanced Plus: Practice EDGING.

You know what I mean.

And if you don’t… ask me.
