... I haven't improved my updating frequency. At all.

I've been pretty busy despite not having work. Still. But I've latched onto this Twitter thing and so I've been writing some. Once a week or so. I'll post them here after I've done the Twitter thing with them, if you're interested at all. Last week's was called Morning Commute and is in my gallery now.

So I've heard of this thing sort of going around the Internet where artists and writers are doing 100 pieces of art in 100 days. A lot of them started on 29 Sep 2009 so it will end for them on 01 Jan 2010, but the point of the exercise is to create something everyday. It's not as easy as it sounds, and I know writers doing it can't say enough about how they've improved by participating. Unlike NaNoWriMo, where just getting the word count matters (thus forcing some to produce crap prose just to make their goal), this exercise holds the word count down. Say, 400-1000 words per day. It's just vignettes or snippets, pieces of stuff, but it has to be new stuff. No copying/pasting something you wrote a while ago when you're stuck. Because of the discipline and the lower-pressure word counts, many writers are seeing improvement in their skill from doing the exercise.

I remember last year when I did some exercises. I really felt I'd gained in some small way, some baby steps taken forward in my craft. So this exercise is very interesting to me. I'm wondering if any of you are either doing something like this, have done something like this, or would be interested in doing it?

Sound off, tell me what you think.

There. I've updated my journal. Yeesh, I stink at this.
