Weekly Writers' Journal Prompts: Write your intentions

Photo credit: Paperback Writer

This week, achieve your goals with your writing by writing down your intention each time you write.

Intentions are important. When you write an intention, you set a goal and a destination. However, it's important that you WRITE your intention, so you'll remember it.

With your intention in mind, you'll stay on track, because all writing tends to morph - you forget what your intentions were, get confused, and decide that your writing's rubbish. :-)

Writing your intention is especially important if you're a new writer, and haven't yet got the writing habit. (See my new Write More class, if you want help in developing a writing habit.)

Here are a couple of intentions I've used:

* Write a Web page for P's site; response required is to click through to the sales page;

* Write a scene. R's goal is to get W to commit to promoting him, W's goal is to find out what R knows about the merger.

There's no format for an intention - write it in any way you please, but do write it. :-)
