The Good Patrons of 750 Words

1 cup

I take a lot of writing classes. Whenever I’m asked what I hope to get out of a particular class, I always say it’s to develop a writing practice. No matter how good or plentiful the advice I got, nothing worked, Until 750 words monthly writing challenges. Turns out all I needed to develop a hardcore, daily writing practice was a false deadline. I often wait until I only have an hour to start writing my words. That way I don’t go back and edit, which is the number one cause of my mini-writers blockages. I’ll often write a thousand words before I even look down at the bottom of the page to see my progress, For a habitual editor like me, that is a feat. Now I write during the day with a lot more fluidity and forgiveness. And I still do my 750 words+++ every single night just for the sake of writing without judgment.
