Starting tomorrow, June 8th, I’m participating in this project Bindu Wiles created called 21.5.800:

For 21 days, we’ll be doing 5 days of yoga a week and 800 words of writing per day. WAIT!

Don’t stop reading! Hear me out.

Here’s the deal;

THE WRITING: The writing can be ANYTHING. Memoir, blogs, business plans, essays, fiction, free-writing, letters,……..ANYTHING. The point is to get writing again daily and to have the boundaries and challenge of a daily word count to reach.

THE YOGA: There are several options for you to do the yoga portion of 21.5.800 5 times in 7 days.  Here are the options: 1. Go to a yoga class in your ‘hood. 2. Do a yoga dvd at home. 3. Take a 20-40 minute savasana* at home on the floor.

This could not have come at a better time for me! Since “starting fresh” last week, I’m really excited to participate in this project and challenge myself (I’ve never committed to yoga for more than 3 days straight so this should be interesting…). Also, I need redeem myself after having my not-so-successful (25) Days of Scriptwriting challenge/project. Since 21.5.800 has almost 200 people signed up, maybe having this community would help reach the daily goals. Here’s what I’m hoping to get out of this:

• More focus and clarity with my creative projects (whether it’s for my small business or web series)
• Get into the habit or routine of ideas flowing, creative energy running through my veins, and getting words on that piece of paper or computer screen.
• Meet/connect with others who are also doing this project

So, are you in?
