Forty Days of Writing the Everyday
At the end of February through most of April, I feel a recklessness and a boredom and a belligerence swirling inside of me. It is exhausting, but this year, instead of trying to fight it, I wondered if I could instead feel thrilled by these feelings that stir me. What if I took a seemingly small, everyday occurrence (something I see, something I do, something I say), and tried to find a story for it? “Forty Day of Writing the Everyday” is a creative endeavor designed to help us reclaim our days, and find the thrill in them, or, perhaps if that is taking it too far, feel content with creating something from our everyday lives.
