This post is part of the 31 Day Ninja Writer Challenge. If you’d like to see all of the challenges in this series, see this post.

This is a writing challenge — so starting out with an assignment to write every single day for the next month is a no-brianer, right?

If you develop a daily writing habit, eventually you’ll write a book. You’ll build a body of work. You’ll build a career, if that’s what you want.

Sure, it’s important to learn the mechanics of good writing. That’s easier to do if you are implementing what you are learn on a daily basis. So, your first act of business in this challenge is simple.

Write every day for at least ten minutes on a single project.

The single project bit is there because I want you to see how much work you can get done in even small amounts of time over the course of a month. You can start something new. Maybe a short story? If you’re already working on a novel, just keep on keeping on.
