Weekly Writing Challenge
Well, all in all, completing the challenge this week was certainly a lot harder than I thought it would be. I didn’t complete it every day, but it was a good exercise.
I’m having a lot more problems with my current novel than I would have ever anticipated, but I have these weekly challenges to thank for forcing me to face them now instead weeks (or months, given my stubborn procrastination habits) from now.
How did your projects go? I know many of the people who participated didn’t get a page in every day for various reasons. How much writing did you get done?
This week I’m going to be easier on you with the challenge. You can write as much or as little as you want (more than a sentence would be nice though). You can write for as much time or as little time as you want. Those factors are up to you.
My challenge for week three is: write in a different space every day.
Before you get worried, yes this can mean you write in a different room of your house every day. We don’t all have time to get out and about. However, if you can, try to get out and write at the library, your favorite café, the park, on the train… Every day this week, try out a place other than where you normally write.
I’m partial to my usual writing spots like many of you no doubt are, but a new spot can be a good thing. It can either renew your love for your tried and true spot(s), or you could find a new spot full of inspiration.

Hmm. Interesting challenge. Can’t really get out of the house this week. There might be just enough rooms to squeak by with… Hmm, nope. Room #7’s the bathroom.
Perhaps I’ll “officially” start the challenge tomorrow

Elisa - Looking forward to seeing where you go.
Saoirse - Have you included out on the porch? The back yard? Room #7 for me is also the bathroom.
I’d count on the couch and at the husband’s desk as two different places, though. Even if they are in the same room.

So far, I’ve got The Couch and My Desk. I expect The Bathroom to appear soon.
Hmm…I’ll have to try The Stairs.

My desk is a mess right now while we’re setting up wireless, so I have the couch. I can get to the library, the park, the mall, the pub, as well as other places, so I’m not too worried about it. The bathroom might be interesting, but ours is always cold.

I’ll try different places in my house…nice challenge JM. I often get stuck in front of my laptop all day.

I do too, Neel, which is partly what inspired this challenge.
