Here's a fast, fun way to improve your writing--
Take our 5 minute writing challenge!
For 5 minutes, write without stopping. Don't edit. Keep your pen moving, or keep your fingers on the keyboard in constant motion.
Don't look back. If you're at loss for a word, draw a line to fill in later. If you get stuck, write "I remember when..." and write the first thing that pops into your head.
You can go back and edit after the 5 minutes are up.
Write at least 5 minutes every day for a week.
I'd love to see what you write. Post a paragraph of the favorite thing you wrote, or e-mail it to me at stellanorth10.blogspot.com.
