The One-Minute Writer

I just came across this blog: http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.com/

The main idea is to get people to spend at least one minute, everyday, writing something (preferably creative writing). There is a new prompt every day, and you can read the prompt and comment on the post by spending one minute responding to it. Its not a bad way to make writing practice a part of your daily life- although I'm sure at least some of you spend far more than just a minute per day on writing. But maybe if one of these days you want to make a post and don't know what to write about, you can use this website to find an interesting topic.

Today's prompt is:
Listen
Listen. Write about what you hear, right now.

If you have a minute, give it a try.

Hello! it's really funny! My first baby-step. I hear splash of water in bath and buzz of refrigerator.

Hi everybody! I don't hear any interesting sounds at the moment :)

Writing in English is a good idea. Today I realized that writing in other languages is different for me. I wrote a message in Russian and than tryed to translate into English. The experience was awful! It was easier to create English version, than a translation :)
Want to know more languages to find other sides of 'self' ;)
