A 10-day challenge sounds simple—write 10 minutes daily, starting with "Today I noticed..."—but the structure works. Emily Gould guides you through observation prompts, examples from her own work, and revision techniques. By day 10, you refine one entry into a finished piece. The course treats journaling as the permission structure your creativity needs: a low-stakes space where good ideas can emerge without perfectionism. Ideal for writers chasing a block or anyone wanting to reconnect with writing as play rather than performance.
The Class: Internationally acclaimed author Emily Gould walks you through a 10-day creative writing challenge! Filled with inspiring examples, observation prompts, and clever revision tricks, it's perfect for writers and enthusiasts eager to rekindle creativity in a personal and artful way.
The Prompt: Commit to writing 10 minutes a day for 10 days (starting with "Today I noticed...") and, on the final day, revise one entry into a finished piece.
Why: Use this class to ban writer's block and get your good ideas down on paper!
