Happy New Year, darlings! How has it been so far? Do you make New Year’s resolutions? If yes, what resolutions do you have for 2023?
I don’t make resolutions because I know I never keep them—however, what I do like and find important to do at this time is taking inventory of the past year and setting some directions for the new year. This time I actually sat down with a friend of mine to put it on paper, too. It’s not too late for you to do it as well:) The { Year Compass } is a very useful little booklet for this.
But the point is, me and this friend of mine—who’s just started writing recently and wants to practice more—have begun to use this internet-wide well-known method of giving each other writing prompts, and after a week or so we read our story aloud to each other. Let me tell you, so far it’s going very nicely! And since I haven’t been posting many actual stories here lately, and with this method I am actually writing more frequently again, I’ve decided to share with you the better, more interesting ones using the { #prompt } label. So this is what you can expect to see here this February:)
The reason why my attempts at prompt-based writing hadn’t worked before—because I have given it multiple shots—is that I’m not yet very good at keeping myself accountable, thus I always abandoned projects like NaNoWriMo and the like after some time. However, in July and August I started writing for prompts again with a German friend of mine who also writes. That project did not result in many decent works but only a couple of them—I figure I’ll post them here before publishing the new ones. (The original version is in English because of my German friend, but of course I’ll post the { Hungarian translation } as well.)
