This month begins Laurie Halse Anderson's fourth annual Write Fifteen Minutes A Day Challenge. Yes, I know, you've missed one day already, but that's okay! You can start today!
Why, you may be asking, am I writing about writing on a blog that's supposed to be about all the creative arts? Well, yes, I confess, I am a writer. But, I'm also a weaver, a painter, a spinner. . . get the picture? Writing is something that is accessible to all artists, no matter what their medium.
And, writing is an activity that allows you to listen to yourself, and to the creative whispers that, I believe, come from the Holy Spirit.
So, why not take the challenge? Set aside 15 minutes and write. Laurie Halse Anderson will be posting prompts every day and I've put in the links to her blog, so you can read those and more about the WFMAD Challenge. We spend so much time listening to others, to television, to music, to radio, to white noise, why not take 15 minutes and listen to what's going on in your own head and heart? What do you have to lose? Let me know! I'm taking the challenge and will be reporting on my progress. I'm also going to be watching to see if I notice any changes in me as I go through the month. What about you?
