Join Us For The Letter Writing Challenge
Remember the days of receiving mail that wasn’t an ad or a bill? I distinctly remember running to the mailbox and feeling goosebumps each time I received a letter from someone who took the time to sit down and write one. There is something beautiful about a handwritten note meant just for me. November is a month of possibilities. I try to look at each month of cold as a challenge. What can I do that brings the warmth in my soul? What can I do that could excite someone else? Thinking about the answers to these questions is way more fun than thinking about how cold it’s getting outside. On this day of excellence, my gift to you is a letter-writing challenge.
Today, we are gifted with an extra hour of downtime. An extra hour where there are no expectations and no responsibilities. This is the perfect day to try this challenge. This week, challenge yourself to write two-three handwritten letters to your loved ones and mail them in the actual mail. There is research surrounding how this act of love strengthens relationships and heals them if they are strained. Handwritten letters require your undivided attention; they are timeless, and they are sacred.
This week where we are gifted an extra hour, why not use it to spread love and gratitude with a letter? Want more writing assignments? Order my prompt book on Amazon and get writing!

Polaroid Writing Prompt
Inspiration for good writing is all around us. When I think of how I write a scene or a memory, it mirrors the way a polaroid picture comes into focus. Very gradual, a little messy, but revealing nonetheless. Here is a writing prompt for those who are looking for a little inspiration. We used this to start our write-in, and the beauty that came from those passages was overwhelming. I think we could have written on this prompt all night.
What makes this one so special is that it allows the writer to really zero in on why he or she has always loved the picture. By taking time with these memories, other realizations occur as well. It always amazes me how the products from this prompt are never truly about the image but are oftentimes mostly about the time period of the picture or how far the writer has come since it was taken. This is a favorite writing prompt of mine, and I hope you like it, too.
It’s your turn. Try this one and let me know how it goes! Want more prompts? Check out my book 30 Days of Writing Prompts.

30 Days of Writing Prompts Available Now on Amazon
One of the excuses I get from non-writing writers is that time is a major roadblock in the practice of their craft. Carving out an hour here or there for writing seems impossible with children, work, spouses, obligations, etc.
My motto:
Carve out time for your creativity any way you can. “
Your creative life is one of the most important things in this world. It’s how you know you’re alive. It’s the very backbone of who you are. In order to help with the time crunch, I have written a book available on Amazon. 30 Days of Writing Prompts To Achieve a Higher Sense of Self is not only designed to take 15 minutes of your day for writing, but it’s also written for you to get back to what you love. There is room to write directly on each prompt’s page, and the prompts ask you to appreciate the here and now or go back in time and reflect on the beautiful life you’ve built.
Physical copies are just $7.99 or on Kindle for $2.99. If you like what you create in 30 days of writing, please leave a review on Amazon saying so. Thank you for supporting A Writer Inside, and thank you for choosing to break through your creative obstacles to live your best creative life.
