Happy new year!!! πππ I was just getting used to drawing the "4" in "2024" in my notebooks, and now I have to get used to a whole new number. I always liked "5" though, so hopefully we get along alright.
As always I hope everyone has had a good month (but not so good as to leave nothing to stoke the fires of creativity).
Hi everyone!
I'm going to have to submit my master's thesis by the end of the year. I'd like to improve my writing substantially before sending off my final draft.
This month, I'd like to write a short essay or a short story. Get the ball rolling and all.
Welcome, you've come to the right place! I'll send you a reminder before I put up the February writing club post, just to give you a head-up and a chance to maybe give your monthly goal one last push. :)
I love your overall goal of improving your writing. I have the same long-term goal. Is there anything about your writing in particular that you're trying to improve?
This month, I'd like to write a short essay or a short story.
Great goal! Do you have something in mind already for a topic or genre, or is that still open-ended?
I'd like to make my writing more valuable for readers by, among other ways, writing more clearly.
As for the essay, I'm not quite sure yet what to write about. I have a few little ideas pinging around in my head, but I don't know if any of them are worth fleshing out.
Enjoy the search for a topic. I love this period of a project, before you've decided what to work on, and everything is possible.
Actually, on topics: at the risk of getting too meta, I would love to hear about your process of coming up with an idea and how that eventually transforms into a completed essay.
