We are officially half way through StoryADay May 2013.
Just think, if you write a story today, you’re over half way there!

It’s Not Too Late To Start
OK, you meant to start writing at the beginning of May but you didn’t quite get there. Or maybe you started on May 1 and fell off the wagon at the first bump.
It’s not too late. Really, it’s not.
Just start writing today. Forget about the past, don’t worry about the future. Write a story today. Even if that’s all you do, you’ll still be one story ahead of where you are now. That’s one more story you can revise, and submit, or just point to and say “I did that”.
Then, if you want to, come to the site and brag — you can post an “I did it!” on each day’s writing prompt blog post, or you can register for the community and brag in The Victory Dance group.
Trust me, if you write something — anything — today, you will feel sooooo good.
Courses And Workbooks That Can Help
I have workbooks and courses and videos available to help you get over the hump, out of a slump, or whatever else you need (that ends in ‘ump’).
All are available instantly online. Check them out.
Warm Up Writing Course (Home Study Version) – Now the I WRITER Course
Time To Write Workshop (included in the I, WRITER Course)
StoryADay.org Guide To Breaking Writers’ Block (Kindle edition, but you can download Kindle software for your computer/phone/tablet if you don’t have the gadget itself)
The Free Creative Challenge Workbook — don’t forget, if you went through this before the challenge started, go back now and look at your notes. Remember why you’re doing this, what it means to you and where you planned to find ideas (and time).
New Feature – Prompt Previews
Every year I provide writing prompts for the challenge. You can find them on the site or subscribe to receive them by email (they go out everyday at midnight in my time zone (GMT -5) for the next day’s writing).
This year I’ve introduced a popular new feature: The Prompt Preview.
If you subscribe to the Prompt By Email mailing list you get a sneak peek at the next week’s upcoming prompts, each Saturday. This seems to be helping people come up with Story Sparks in advance. No more panicking about what today’s story is going to be!
There are still two Saturdays left in this year’s challenge, so sign up now if you haven’t already.
And remember, the prompts are optional. You can use today’s, use another prompt from the past, or write your own story entirely.
I think that’s it for today. Now excuse me, I have a story to write. Don’t you?
Keep writing,
Julie
