I'm Joining the 100 Day Project

I'm looking to establish a daily, dependable writing practice.  A while back I looked online for photo writing prompts.  I was sadly underwhelmed by what I found.  They were nice, but the photos didn't speak to me. Everyone's seen photos that call the phrase, "a picture is worth 1000 words" to mind, but where WERE those photos when I was looking for them?  

Then I discovered The 100 Day Project, and as luck would have it, it starts in just a few days.  I wanted to be a part of something that was "intended to awaken, nurture and sustain your creative spirit through the cultivation of small daily acts for 100 days!"  I wanted in!! But 100 days in a row of writing was kind of daunting.  Sometimes I can write 2 polished pages in a few hours, but normally, idea-to-finished-piece takes me at least a week.  I don't have time for a few hours every day, but could I write a few lines or a few paragraphs a day?  Probably - if only I had a source of at least 100 ideas, ready and waiting and tailored for me. And then I remembered my photo roll...

I have approximately 1300 photos on my phone's camera roll.  The oldest photo is from 2013, and the newest few were taken today.  I'm not saying these are pictures that are "worth 1000 words" but for me, they're worth at least a few lines, maybe a few paragraphs.  Some are the conventional "important occasion" photos; many are a sort of visual bookmark...  something I want to remember - and the photo is my reminder of it.  Who DOESN'T have such photos on his or her phone?    

So beginning on Sunday, January 31st and continuing for 100 days, I'm going to chose a photo from my cameral roll and write about it.  Some posts will be short and some will be longer.  Hopefully, some will be good and quite likely, some will be terrible, but my goal is to be in it for the duration, and NOT QUIT.  

I'd love for you to join me on your own creative journey - cooking, crafting, writing, sewing - whatever floats YOUR boat. We can offer each other support and encouragement.  Let's make the world a more creative place!!
