mousmeSo, there's a Thing in August, to get all of us writing again. Why wait for NaNoWriMo, after all? My friend and landlady ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ai731 has come up with something very nifty.
I hereby present:
Jan's August Writing Challenge:
Write something every day in the month of August.
Sounds tough! What do I have to do?
Write. Something. Anything. Any length. Prose or poetry. Every day. For a month. And share it.
Sounds cool! How do I sign up?

Link to this post in your LJ
Post either your writing, or a link to your writing on your LJ/blog/website to the community every day in August, starting on Monday, August 1st
Sounds simple! Are there any other rules?
Nope. Well, not really. It has to be creative writing - prose or poetry, of any any length, on any subject. Stuff you would normally be writing anyway counts (so, for those who write serials, that counts) but stuff you write for your job doesn't. But it can be anything. Short fiction, short-short fiction, essays, character studies, stream-of-consciousness, writing exercises (I'll try to post a bunch of these over the next few days to give people ideas), etc. Anything at all, so long as it's a self-contained piece of writing that you did that day.
