Okay, I spent Saturday at Starbucks with my drink and my laptop and I wrote for several hours only to become bored. I hated the way I started my second novel. Will I scrape what I wrote and start again? Probably not scrape it but I will start anew.
So, while I am considering how to start my second novel I decide to practice. I have several books on writing prompts, so I chose one and began writing. The prompt for the day was to write about a horizon. Easy enough, one can write about sunrises, sunsets, hope, future, truly any number of things. What did I write about? A character from a future novel, one of the main characters of my planned third book.
Practice should be in any writers arsenal. An hour, thirty minutes, everyday, once a week. It becomes part of who you are what you do and can lead to brilliant future ideas. Just saying.
