Weekly Writing Prompt — May 18, 2011 Edition

Where did the day go? For me, not a whole lot of it was spent writing. Those aren’t my best days. But, they are necessary days.

Speaking of necessary days and ways… When was the last time you organized your writing? Moved files around either on the desk top or in the desk? Are you keeping a spreadsheet of when you’re sending stuff out and following up either with those you sent it to or sending it out again? No?

Well, that’s your prompt this week. Set up a spread sheet for your writing. What piece did you send? To whom? Contact info? Date sent? Follow-up Date? Did you follow up? Did you move it along to another prospect?

Operation Organization is your goal. Give yourself 15 extra minutes of guilty pleasure time if you complete this task.

Next on the list of “writing to-do’s” is attending our regular work session on Sunday at 3 p.m. We will start the meeting with a state of the organization (aka annual meeting). Lots of great things to report and then we’ll have some work session. I need everyone to bring a piece they are working on. If you don’t bring a piece you’ve been working on….well, just bring a poem, chapter, short story, non-fiction article. OK?

And now for your moment of Writing Zen:

“Words are a form of action, capable of influencing change.” ~Ingrid Bengis.

“But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling, like dew upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.” ~ Lord Byron
