One of the regular resources we share is monthly writing prompts. Use these writing prompts for January 2020 to get you writing.
Are you struggling to write? Do you have writer’s block? Perhaps you’re stuck in the middle of your book? One of the best ways to power through these problems is by developing a daily writing routine.
If you write every day, you create a writing habit. Professional writers have to write even when they don’t feel like it, and if you take the time to establish a habit, you will find it easier to write on demand.
One of the easiest ways to do this is by setting a time every day (preferably, but not necessarily, the same time) to write using a writing prompt. You can use our monthly prompts or subscribe to our daily writing prompts to help you do this.
If you want to know how to make the best use your prompts, we suggest you read: All About Writing Prompts & Writing Practice
A prompt can be anything: a word, a song title, a name, a myth, a photograph, or a quotation.
We hope our 31 writing prompts for January 2020 inspire you to start a writing routine.
31 Writing Prompts For January 2020
this week in I Am Very Smart: having enough money to go to the opera, museums and concerts correlates with having enough money for food, shelter and basic health needs
They controlled for socioeconomic factors though! The people who conducted this study knew that people with lots of money to attend the opera were also more likely to be able to afford basic necessities, so they controlled for it in their analysis. The fun thing about statistics is that you can control for different confounding factors so you can look at the effects of one independent variable (opera or whatever) on the dependent variable (mortality). Part of being critical of potential biases is actually reading the article and knowing what to look for.
In addition to that very good point about controlling for socioeconomic factors, the article says a single museum or concert per year makes a difference. Most cities have free community concerts (some even have free opera performances!) and museums that are either free, pay-what-you-want, or at least have specific days/times during which they are free or at a significantly reduced cost. Many libraries (which are free) provide free museum passes to card holders. In fact, the article quotes a museum worker who works at a free art museum in Baltimore.
If you actually read the article you would also read that educators are excited about this study because it provides evidence that the arts should be made more accessible financially - by restoring arts programs in the public schools, for example.
