Fall Writing Plan

The Fall Writing Plan

The fall writing plan is here. This was the summer of reading with some writing. With my kids in school now (YEESSSSS!), I can pick up the writing pace and keep the reading pace strong, too. Well those are my goals at least. Cheers to more words on the page now that summer is OVER.

What’s the plan? It’s simple! Words on the page, period. The aim is not about nailing down anything perfect or even permanent. The goal is to work on something, anything. A little bit every day. Two minutes or two hours. Any words will do. Are you in?

Can you tell how pumped I am for a new season of writing? Happy almost fall everyone! (It’s fall enough for me once school begins.)

  1. I get so sad about the end of summer, but my brain is screaming out for the routine to be back in place. I’m excited about more writing and reading, too!

  2. Haha, love the countdown picture! And I like the small goals approach of just trying to write something, anything, every day (though I know it’s harder than it sounds!).

  3. I’m so in. I’ve been writing (and submitting) over the summer but I am ready for my school year writing routine to be back in place because SO MUCH pent up stuff/loose ends that I need to get finalized on paper! It’s just not as doable with other folks around (as much as we love them…ahem). Wishing you an excellent, fruitful writing season!

  4. Yes! I’m so in! I’ve been challenged recently (wrote about it on WU today) so it’s good to have the company of other writers — helps so much — and love your inspiring illustrations!

  5. Maybe that should be my plan too. Just two minutes a day of words on the page. A goal I can achieve. It’s be “fall” for me and August 4th! Cute back to school pics!!!!!

  6. This is too cute — you and your kiddos. 🙂 I’m with you; school starting is fall enough for me, and I don’t even go to school or have kids! Any excuse to look forward to cooler weather, boot season, and that wonderful settling-into-the-year routine. I wish you many productive words, Nina.

  7. You are cracking me up with that countdown! For us it’s still a week away.. well now it’s less.
    I’m so in. The summer has been full of one or both kids and tons of travel. I used to write.. all the time.. All the time!!

  8. Yay! I just sent my youngest off to high school last week, and “graduated” from 20 years of homeschooling kids! I can’t tell you how excited I am to be able to write in the middle of the day like you do. Wishing you a productive fall, Nina!

  9. Yes!! My kids are back in school and this is the first year my son has 2 full days, which is mind blowing. And also….pressure. The self-imposed kind. It’s just week one and my brain is scrambling to confirm (or more likely, deny) my productivity. But writing a few minutes every day? Can I do that? I think yes. Love what your summer sounded like. Here’s to fall 🙂
