100 DAYS WRITING CHALLENGE
How To Plan The Writing Challenge
This is what I did in my first week — Episode 8
There is a debate in Medium of quality over quantity. When you have committed to the writing challenge, you are definitely in for the quantity. But who says that you have to sacrifice the quality. Easier said than done, isn't it? Sure is! But once onboard, you need to make a strategy to run through the 100 miles of the marathon with no pit stops.
Okay, this is what you could do in the writing challenge to make it more productive and entertaining. Think of a theme or subject and write multiple stories within the scope. Once you or your readers get bored with it, take another niche and go for it. Like I talked about the cities where I have lived for one year or more. Hope it was worth a try.
These are the top 5 cities that are closest to me:
Karachi, my identity. This is where I was born, completed my studies, got married, and started my first job.
Sharjah, my first international move. Went there with my wife and two little kids. Emotionally derailing in the beginning but later proved to be a splendid choice. The time spent there is unforgettable and I cherish every moment.
Dubai, the love of my life. This is where I spent over 8 years. We travelled to all 7 U.A.E. states, made a lot of friends, and enjoyed ourselves a lot more than words can ever describe.
Riyadh, my two-time love affair. First, I lived there when I was 4 years old, and a second time when I turned over 40 — ironic isn't it? Find out more…
Toulouse, my home for the last 5 years. I never knew this place actually existed. Now, I never want to leave it.
This is all about my first week on the challenge. I am enjoying the ride so far. You can also craft your journey in a similar fashion on the same or different topics.
I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. See you tomorrow!
