A New Writing Challenge: #215800

June 8th, 2010

Greetings, readers. Today I’m starting something new and different — and while I don’t plan to blog about it every day, I do want to share it with you because I think it’s such a great combination of real-life action and online interaction.

My friend Bindu Wiles is offering a yoga/writing practice called “21 5 800,” which means 21 days, 5 days a week, of writing 800 words combined with at least 15 minutes of yoga (we all have the choice of taking a class, using a DVD, or spending time in savasana/corpse pose). 

I’m a yoga newbie, so I’ve chosen the savasana option, and I’ll be listening to Taize chants each day to encourage mindfulness. I haven’t set a daily time for writing, although one may naturally emerge.

I’ll be writing a new passage of my novel-in-progress…”in progress” now for something like five years! I can’t wait to see where this focused challenge will lead my characters and plot.
