Today I am using Sara Gentry's (Solutions for Writers) format for my first March post. Her Wednesday Writing Boost emails come to my inbox.
Before the monthly challenge starts I curate drafts of posts that have formats I want to play with. It is part of the fun of the challenge for me. The other fun part are many connections I have from doing this challenge for over 15 years.
WordPress is not my primary blogging platform for a list of reasons. If you want to read more of my writing you need to go to https://tammyevans.substack.com/ In order to comment on everyone's post, I have various profiles as many blogging platforms require this step.
TO READ
I have been reading a lot of different texts lately. I am back to reading novels. I am blessed to have a great library system which has saved me thousands of dollars in books. And honestly, space. I learned a long time ago that libraries don't have space for all the books they own. They count on people having books checked out!
I am reading The Book of Love by Kelly Link.
I am reading THE PIVOT YEAR by Brianna West.
I am reading a lot of books by Maira Kalman
I continue with my Bradbury Trio of reading a poem, story, and essay every day. It impacts my writing in the best ways!
I read a lot of high quality Substacks too. And I will be reading other March Challenge blog posts this whole month of March!
To Listen To
I listen to a lot of podcasts especially when walking, running, or driving.
I listened to SHORT STORY TODAY with the interview with Amy Barnes.
I listen to The Atlas Obscura Podcast and THE MFA WRITERS podcast.
I listened to a few that I don't want to list because I didn't enjoy them too!
I exchange many audio messages between friends and enjoy leaving and received these messages too!
To Watch
I started rewatching Emily In Paris on Netflix. This is a fun show for me. I enjoy the banter and the fashion and that there is a chef that is a main character.
I don't watch much TV generally, but do have shows I am drawn to. My husband and I watch the occasional movie as well. This week we watched "No Reservations".
To Do
I'm traveling this first week of March with my son and I will savor each experience. I will also run and write!
To Write
I write to prompts daily. I have reading that I respond to as well in my notebook.
One of the formats I enjoy is Summer Brennan's 5 Thing Essay.
Happy March!!
