DAY 6 (June 17th, 2018)
the time is short
shorter than you think
blink and it’s gone
and so are possibilities
Daily Word Count: 101
EXCERPT
At any rate, I happen to be working on a dissertation for a doctorate in subliminal poetics at the University of Ferrara.
The 100 Day Project is a creativity excavation. It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice everyday for 100 days.
Creativity is a skill. The more we practice, the more skilled we become. Practice takes time. Practice takes commitment. Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world. Through practice, we develop a creative habit. Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.
I started this, my third, 100 Day Project on June 12th, 2018. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything, really (or nothing at all) and to write at least one hundred shitty first-draft words of my novel. I’ll post the results here.
Enjoy!
