When I first started working with Marilyn around August 8, about 2 1/2 months ago, I did the word of the day exercise each day religiously for the first six weeks. During that time I wrote approximately 37,000 words. Then after that for some reason I stopped doing the word of the day and my production slowed to only 5,000 words over the next four weeks. I am now back to my daily practice of the word of the day and my writing is picking up again.

I have been a writer for twenty years as myself and as a ghostwriter. My dream was to write plays, so two years ago, I began taking online classes about playwriting and character and plot development. My biggest challenge was fleshing out my characters to be believable as human beings. According to critics, characters seemed one-dimensional or lacking a back story and motivation.
I have been showing up for Marilyn’s Word of the Day program, and I am so pleased with the improvements in my character development and seeing other ways to communicate my character’s actions. I would highly recommend WOTD.

Have you ever stared at a clock? As a writer, it’s a frequent and painful pastime. In such moments, I wondered why I could see what I wanted to write, but couldn’t quite connect words to the page. WOTD turned that around. I’ve found Full scenes, characters, and stories fully accessible. WOTD is the point of connection that made time feel timeless and I find the flow state more accessible than ever.

Marilyn Horowitz and her Word of the Day: Transform Your Writing in 15 Minutes a Day method have an intensity, brilliance, and originality that are disarming and delightful. They seed the conditions for trust, creativity, and great finished work to emerge. When Marilyn tells you you’re a writer, do your voice and the world a favor. Believe her.
