One week ago, author William Kent Krueger encouraged me to write every morning before the day gets busy. On Monday, I got up early, cracked open my new book of writing prompts and got to work.

I wrote every day this week, exploring fiction topics both familiar and foreign. This week I used a different prompt a day. Next week, I intend to use the same writing prompt every day to encourage finding new ways to look at the same idea.

Honestly, I’m already sold on the effectiveness of writing before the world gets its hooks into me. However, the practicality of getting up at 5 or 5:30 in the morning is hardcore unpleasant for someone who dislikes mornings. Bit I will keep it up either until it’s a habit or until I just can’t take it anymore!
