Write What I See in 30 Minutes

 I've been writing for a while, but not as prolifically as I would like to be.

I have enrolled in several online courses before, read several books on writing, but when I forget just one day, skip one day of writing, I backslide to where I started. The longest writing streak I had was when I followed Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal. So, for 90 days, every morning while having coffee, I filled three back-to-back pages of my unintelligible, longhand, insensible writing. 

After that, I was able to finish my first Hiligaynon language novel in just three months. 

Then, I had some sort of slump. I joined several writing prompt exercises, but they weren't for me. So, I made my own. 

After each story, I included a short prompt for you. Set a timer to 30 minutes. Write without interruption. If that 30 minutes is too long (or too short) for you, then adjust to your preference. But don't overdo it, or else you'll get burned out. 

Happy writing! 

I found out that it's much more productive for me to write on paper. 
Auto-correct and grammar suggestions are sometimes, if not mostly, distracting and break my stream of thoughts.
However, re-typing them on a computer can be a pain, too.
