Many people wonder which writing method is best for the daily prompts in 365 Days of Writing. Whether you choose to write by hand or type depends on what works best for you personally.

Everyone has different associations with paper and computer. While most writing teachers advocate for pen and paper—and I personally use it for my writing practice—I’ve encountered many individuals who find the computer just as intimate and convenient. It’s worth experimenting to see if your writing process and results vary depending on whether you handwrite or type your daily prompts. Some people discover they write more freely on a computer, while others feel a deeper connection with pen and paper.

Ultimately, whether you choose to handwrite or type your daily prompts in 365 Days of Writing is a personal decision. What matters is finding the method that allows you to write freely and enjoy the journey of self-discovery and writing pleasure that this course offers.

During this Writing Year, the focus is on your personal writing process. Due to the large number of participants, I unfortunately cannot provide individual feedback on your work.

However, I encourage you to further explore the themes and ideas that emerge throughout the Writing Year. Many writers have developed inspiring projects and writing structures based on their experiences. If you would like guidance, I offer personal writing coaching to support you on your writing journey. You can contact me about it here.

Absolutely not. There are no strict rules here. Some writers use this year to write every day, while others take breaks as needed. It’s quite common for people to take two years to complete the Writing Year.

I understand that maintaining discipline can sometimes be challenging, but that’s exactly what this course can help with! The daily writing prompts are designed to keep you motivated, but you can adjust the pace to fit your needs.

So please, don’t feel pressured. You can save the daily emails in a separate folder and write whenever it suits you. The goal is to support your writing process, not to add extra pressure.

Ten minutes is manageable for most of us. It’s not too much, and not too little. Feel free to write for longer. Set your timer for twenty, fifteen, or thirty minutes and keep your hand moving.

Another variation to consider is taking the same prompt multiple times in a row with a fresh start each time. For example, if the prompt is “suddenly I knew,” set your timer for five minutes three times and step through that door with a clean slate each time.

Feel free to send me a message here, I’m happy to help!

I’m confident you’ll love this course, but if for any reason it doesn’t meet your expectations, I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Your satisfaction is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely confident in your decision to join this writing journey.

Are you already working on a book or another writing project and wondering if 365 Days of Writing can help? I’m almost certain it will. It will tremendously train your writing muscles. Plus, it’s both fun and healthy to do some ‘free’ writing alongside your manuscript to keep the soil of your mind tilled.

What you can also consider, especially if you’re writing fiction and working with characters, is to do the writing prompts from the perspectives of your characters. This approach can also apply to autobiographical projects—I always advise my writing students to view themselves and the people they write about as characters. The prompts will surely open doors and tap into memories you might otherwise overlook.

In other words, yes, I believe it can be very helpful! Of course, it will take some time, but you can view those ten minutes as a warm-up. And you don’t have to write every day. You can collect the prompts and use them as a database to draw from whenever you want.

No, you don’t have to submit anything you write! The Writing Year is all about your personal writing experience and growth as a writer. Whether you choose to share your work with others or keep it to yourself, the choice is entirely yours. I encourage you to first learn to let your creativity flow freely! You then have the freedom to decide whether to share your writing or keep it private.

No worries! This course is for everyone, regardless of your writing level. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, I will guide you step by step. The main goal is to discover your creativity and get your thoughts on paper, no matter your writing background.

I don’t value ‘perfect’ writing; I encourage discovering your own voice and enjoying the process. It’s about creative expression, not external judgment. Give yourself permission to write freely, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve!
