The 100 for 100 Challange

With school as it is, most of us writers take a break from hours of writing due to our grievous amount of  homework and school in general. So what would one do when all that creativity just simmers there with nowhere to go? Since I'm still recovering from my book writing, all the brain cells that survived have ended up crafting another story entirely. But how in the world does someone release all this imagination that had flowed freely before? The feeling of having the best idea and not being able to write isn't a pleasant one.

I'm a follower on the Go Teen Writer's blog. They've recently found a solution to my problem. It's something called the 100 for 100 challenge. All you do is write 100 words every day for 100 days. That's about 10 minutes of time, that's all! I already know what I'm doing for the manuscript, since I'll be busy editing Peacekeeper's manuscript. It's a short story that takes place in the same storyworld. I don't think I'll try to publish it, but I'll polish it up and find some way to self-publish it so you guys can read it.

Here's a link to the contest. Details there. http://goteenwriters.blogspot.com/

Hope to see some of you doing this too! Unfortunately, this means I'll have to drop art since writing is going to take up such a big chunk of time. But it's for the best. Once these next two weeks roll by, I'm back to getting my manuscript ready for the editors. That also means I'm going to have to start getting book proposals ready. Then when summer rolls around again, I can go crazy with drawing.
