A 10K DAY has a way of building on its own momentum. But you’ve got to start somewhere, right? Don’t let that initial Blank Mind Syndrome stand in your way!Whether or not you decide to participate in the 10K Day, this post will help—especially if you fall into one of the following categories:
(a) You have writer’s block aka fear of writing
(b) You’re working on a major project (eg. your first novel) but have trouble getting back in the writing groove each time you take a break from it
(c) You don’t have a major, or even a minor, project and you’re sorely in need of some new material to work on
(d) You want to use your 10K Day to write something a bit different to what you usually write.
Coming up over the next six days, I’ll be posting resources that will provide you with fun material to kick-start your 10K Day, as well as insider secrets for success. Here’s the line-up of goodies I’ve got planned for you:
— A new prompt I’ve created entitled Sparkling Beasts and Glimmering GodsSo check back each day for the next six days . . . and get ready to have plenty of stuff to write about on June 18!
— Tips on how to survive and thrive during a 10K Day
— Six writing challenges courtesy of “Sunflower Ranch”
— A free course you can take to learn how to write stories for spiritual growth
— Writing prompts based on the signs of the zodiac
— Motivational articles from writers who know what it's like to be slogging through the writing trenches

Milli!! So glad you're back and posting some very cool ideas!! I'm very happy you'll be using the Writer's Challenges from my blog. All they have to do at the Ranch is something very very short -- but it will be exciting to see much expanded versions for the 10K Day event. It would be utterly fantastic if a piece written on the day goes all the way to print! Keep up the great work and I'm trying to clear my calendar for the big Day. Looks like fun -- productive fun to be sure. :D
