Let's try this again

I've begun a new writing project!  Again.  I know.  I'm really bad at following through on things.  :/  I've bought two books (see below) that both have prompts for every day of the year.  Hopefully this will keep me motivated and writing nearly every day.  I started this on August 1st while I was on vacation so it was easy to find the time.  Since I've been home there have been many more distractions but I am posting my writing one month after I've written it/the prompt date so I have time to catch up.  Thankfully.  Hopefully this will keep my posts and updates more regular (except for when I have no internet).  I've tried using the auto post feature on Blogger so that it updates at 1 pm every day.  So far it hasn't worked but I'm going to do some testing and read the Help section and here's hoping it gets ironed out.
I am hand writing each of the prompts first so if they seem a bit short on your screen, it's longer on paper, I swear.  I'd like to start writing longer pieces but first I'm going to focus on writing daily.  Also, if they seem a bit scatter-brained, it's because I am not editing them before I post them, except for spelling or grammar.  If I do expand on a subject or comment on it, it will be in italics.
And introducing .... the help:

A Writer's Book of Days  by Judy Reeves

I've eyed this book for a while but didn't necessarily have a 'use' for it.  There are short articles on subjects like getting unstuck, how other writers became writers, and perfectionism, followed by five days of prompts.  ie.
September 1  "Even the lightning spoke well of them" (after W.S. Merwin)
September 2  He (she) asked you to dance
September 3  Write what was broken
September 4  We go out after dark
September 5  Write about dispelling loneliness

You are encouraged to change genders, tenses and points of view as you see fit and I enjoy it quite a bit.  I will go back and forth between fiction (based on one of my stories etc) and non-fiction responses, depending on how I am inspired.  So far this is a very enjoyable playground.

A Year of Writing Dangerously - 365 Days of Inspiration and Encouragement by Barbara Abercrombie

Fun fact, this was published only a month before I bought it!  I did not realize that when I purchased it but I feel like a beta tester!
There are 365 one page articles or anecdotes followed by a quote.  So far they have been railing on writing being dangerous/illicit/daring.  I am so done with it.
The examples I looked at when considering the book were much more enjoyable and there have been a couple of articles that I haven't been disgusted with.  I refuse to give up though, I'm hoping it will grow on me as the subject changes.
My responses to this will either paraphrase the article, respond to it, or both.  I'll try to add clarifying comments but we'll see how it goes.


I'm also thinking about doing a 365 self portraits project but that may not last.  It will last at least two months as I take a picture of every shirt I own.  :D  I may get bored after that.  And I'm still up in the air about posting it here in weekly batches or on Facebook.
