The Good Patrons of 750 Words
A Note of Inspiration from Brian Tyrrell
750 words has taught me that I can do it.
I waste a lot of time doing inane stuff, browsing the internet, playing games, doing essays, reading- its all boring (bar the reading) and mostly I don;t want to do it. 750 words has taught me that I can put aside an hour of my time a day to do work, to get something done, and not worry about the actual value of what I’m doing. I can write for its own sake, and no one will judge me.
Honestly, the stuff I’ve written hasn’t been very good. I’d say it was a waste of time, and even after a month and a bit I’d still say that; but at least I took away a valuable skill. Hopefully when I’m better I’ll be able to do 750 words a day I’m proud of, or take it somewhere.
I want to do the November Novel challenge later this year, and I hope 750 words, with its simple design, basic colours and flexibility will help me raise my game, even if it goes pay per use.
