With our move and the necessary remodeling and painting, I spent a lot of hours working and as a result, got completely away from my writing for several months. The ideas are there, but the home improvement work was tiring and left little energy for sitting down to write. To get myself going again, I signed up for a class called 30 Days, 30 Prompts through Narratively. It is an excellent class. Each day a new prompt shows up and students write a short (500 word max) essay and post it. Then every one in the class reads and comments on each other's pieces. Having that much immediate feedback is a treat and something I have not had for many years. Often it feels like writing takes place in a vacuum, so this class has been perfect. I gained many new ideas for essays and will now spend some weeks ahead trying to get them in shape.
