1K a Day Motivational – Repetition Recitation
It’s Thursday and that means I look into the future at a more successful me and report back to the present me on what I will have done to get where I will be.
Also known as the Weekly Motivational!
This week it’s not about keeping myself inspired or motivated to write; it’s about a handy little tool in your writer’s toolbelt that I like to call the Repetition Recitation.
Just what is the Repetition Recitation, you ask? Well, the Repetition Recitation is a narrative device by which you ascribe importance to a person or thing by referencing it multiple times in a short timeframe. Continue reading

1K a Day Motivational – “Where’s My Pen?”
It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for me to wear a very official, very tall hat and loudly proclaim things that happened in the previous week that helped or hindered my writing progress.
That’s right, anybody who’s anybody wears a tall hat. Especially to the movie theater.
This week on Panning For Clouds, I want to tell you a little story, a personal anecdote about the previous week. Continue reading

1K a Day Motivational – “But I Was Stuck”
It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for me to throw a random sprinkling of thoughtful, motivating words at your eyeholes and hope you don’t go blind!
I tried throwing glitter once and I’m still cleaning it up. And people keep calling me Jasmine and offering me dollar bills.
It’s disconcerting.
Today at Panning for Clouds I’m gonna talk about those times when shit’s just going right and despite a dancing plethora of blockades and exhaustion, words are just falling out of your head at an incredible rate and you couldn’t stop them even if you wanted to. Continue reading

1K a Day Motivational – “But I’m Scared”
Heyo, fans and random readers. It’s September! I’ve been doing this thousand words a day thing for 8 solid months. Pretty sweet, huh? This is the 35th week of the year (I think), and I’m two thirds of the way done. Things are going good, and I’m reasonably confident that I will finish the year. I might miss a day. I might miss several. Hard to say. But I’m very confident I’ll have written 365,000 words by the end of the year, which in terms of the true goal of the year (to write a fuckton) I will have succeeded.
…
So why am I terrified? Continue reading
