S410 -Day #22

Starter for Ten - April 27th 2023

Today I tried to focus on creating a story with a start, middle and end in ten minutes. I spent some time thinking before diving right in, which is what I usually do, and I’m pretty happy with this attempt. Going slower here inspired me to do the same for the visual challenge.

Ten minutes of free writing.

I have a habit of buying books and courses and then I forget to read/do them. In January, I treated myself to this course and did one exercise. I revisited it today and used the exercise on experimenting with simple lines to create characters for the visual today. Again, I focused and thought a bit before putting pen to paper. I enjoyed the slower pace.

Starter for Ten (S410) is a daily creative exercise that I will do for the next 30 days. I set a ten-minute timer and write whatever comes into my head. After that I do the same to create a visual. The idea is to loosen up, create daily and get over the idea that everything I make needs to be perfect or have a purpose.

I will document the process here on this site and on my Instagram stories. Photos will be unedited to keep it real. This challenge both terrifies and excites me, let’s see what happens.
