Embarking on a 100-Day Writing Journey: My Challenge
Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to My Writing Challenge
The adventure begins! I have recently become a part of ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications, which supports over 13,000 writers on Medium. They generously provided a welcome package filled with valuable insights, tips, and resources to help us thrive.
This paragraph will result in an indented block of text, typically used for quoting other text.
Section 1.1: Getting Started
Within the welcome package, I discovered a link to an inspiring 100-day writing challenge led by Dr. Mehmet Yildiz:
100 Day Challenge for Aspiring Writers
A structured approach to enhance your writing skills and establish a solid presence on Medium over three months.
What are my goals?
Motivated by this article, I intend to create 100 pieces of writing in 100 days to cultivate a consistent writing habit. I plan to self-publish some of my stories while also contributing to several publications such as ILLUMINATION, New Writers Welcome, Writing101, and About Me Stories. My focus will mainly be on a new category: Tips and Tricks.
Section 1.2: My Writing Strategy
To stay organized, I will consistently use the following tags in my writing endeavors:
Here are a few of my already published stories within this new list:

Learn the benefits of those little packets!

I also plan to document my progress and experiment with writing poetry.
Chapter 2: Engaging with Writing Prompts
What are your thoughts on monthly writing challenges? Have you ever participated in one or set personal goals to push your writing limits? I have engaged with various writing prompts through my stories, including:
