100 Days to More Brilliant Writing: Week #18

Monday, October 19 - Sunday, October 25 * Days 86-90

This is the third to last week! You can do it!

If any of you are like me, there was most likely a prompt during these past 18 weeks that you thought looked interesting, but didn't do for one reason or another. This week's prompt is to do that prompt you didn't do.

For those of you who have done all the prompts, call me and I will buy you an ice cream cone.

Thanks to whirligigdaisy for this idea!

100 Days to More Brilliant Writing: Week #17

Monday, October 12 - Sunday, October 18 * Days 81-85

We're down to the last four weeks! Time to shake things up a bit. This week's prompt:

If you primarily write using a computer, write by hand at least one day this week.

If you write primarily by hand, write on the computer one day this week.

If you use both methods equally, or are morally opposed to writing/typing (whichever is not your norm), try writing in a new location. This can be a new location in your home, a new location in your yard, a new location in your town, etc.

Post any interesting discoveries you make about your writing, an excerpt from your writing, or whatever you want.

Complete this prompt and you earn the title Ambicompositional.
