What if you could begin your novel without the fear of failing? What if you had a process so foolproof, you knew you would finish no matter what? The zombie apocalypse could finally strike and you’d still finish writing your novel.
The good news is you’ve found the write place (sorry, bad habit).
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! The Write Practice will be on hiatus from December 23 through the 28.
In the meantime, here’s a Christmas writing prompt to give you some creative inspiration over the holidays.
You get better at any skill through practice, and creative writing prompts are a great way to practice writing.
At the end of every article on The Write Practice, we include a writing prompt so you can put what you just learned to use immediately. And we invite you to share your writing with our community so you can get feedback on your work.
The Write Practice is more than just a writing blog. It’s a writing workbook, and we think it’s the best one on the Internet (of course, we’re a bit biased).
It’s the end of another long year, and so I’m curious. What did you accomplish this year in your writing? Did you reach any major goals or milestones? Did you publish anything? Did you write something you loved?
In these last few days of 2023, before we set our goals for next year, let’s take a second to sit in what we accomplished over the last year.
Why do we write? Non-fiction and fiction writing has been an instrumental way for people to connect to one another in the real world.
Stories are about change, and by reading and watching them we, ourselves, can change for the better.
But do people write for different reasons, and are some of those reasons more meaningful than others?
Are you sitting at your computer right now, possibly plunging through your first draft (or much later draft), and debating whether or not a writing career is the one for you?
Do you wonder if the written word is how you’ll make your mark on the world—and if it is, is a writing career what you want in life?
