Daily Writing Reminder #19: Write a Short Story

Welcome back to the Daily Writing Reminder — your quick nudge to keep the words flowing. Today is the nineteenth reminder!

Writing doesn’t just happen when inspiration strikes — it grows when you show up, even for a few minutes. Each page, each attempt, builds momentum and keeps your creative muscles strong.

Today’s Nudge

A young woman writing in her journal while outside in nature.
Write a short story.

It doesn’t have to be grand — capture a fleeting moment, a difficult choice, or a chance encounter that lingers. Focus on the details that shift the ordinary into something memorable.

📌 Hint: Let the setting do some of the heavy lifting. A sound, a color, or a gesture can change the mood more than long explanations.

Set a Reminder

Consistency is worth more than perfection. Carve out ten minutes today to put words on the page — even if it’s rough, even if it’s short.

📌 Tip: Think of it like planting seeds. The story may be small now, but it grows stronger every time you return to it.
