Participating in the March blogging challenge

I am participating in the March blogging challenge on writing.com. I also participated in the January and February blogging challenge. I like the blogging challenge because it stretches my creativity and helps me focus on a specific subject.

Sometimes I have difficulty when it comes to finding subjects to cover in a blog entry. Even when I have a specific theme such as a poetry form, I have problems writing more then 100 words on the subject. It is easier for me to respond to a prompt then to begin writing without a prompt.

When I sit down to respond to a prompt, I start writing and the words come without much of a problem. The biggest issues I have, when it concerns prompt responses concern syntax problems. I stress over commas, colons, and semicolons rather then what to write. I also stress about the words “then” and “than” because I always get them confused.

Some writer’s have trouble with “there”, “their”, and “they’re”, I have few problems with these words, except when it comes to typos. If I get those three words wrong it is because my fingers it the wrong keys. This happens because I think faster then I type and it causes me to strike the wrong letter on the keyboard.

This is Day 12 of the NaNoWriMoPrep Challenge

I am still in the challenge. I am still planning my 2010 NaNoWriMo novel. Today I wrote a short story about that set up the plot for the novel. I am looking forward to completing the NaNoWriMoPrep Challenge this year. I am looking forward to completing NaNoWriMo in November.

Planning this novel is a struggle because I keep encountering interruptions in the middle of planning. Writing the story today was easy enough even with the interruptions. However, yesterday writing was difficult because of the interruptions. I am not sure why it was easier to write today then yesterday.
