Write for Ten is a writing project with one simple rule: write for 10 minutes about anything. Describe where you are. Ramble about your day. Imagine a scenario between two strangers. What you write doesn't have to be perfect nor complete. Just write it.
Why 10 minutes?
- Develop a habit of writing every day, e.g., @ianli
- Write a blog, e.g., @writeforten
- Work on a long document by 10-minute chunks.
- Do free-writing exercises to get over writer's block.
- Contact us to suggest other ideas.

Isn't it strange how the best music is that which no one has ever heard of?
Today, I had a big argument with one of my friends. She bombarded me with names like Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift. Etcetera. In answer, I started...

A man gave me five quid today
I was sitting in one of those tunnels that comes out from Tottenham Court tube station.
I'd had a cider and a strong lager and I was feeling pretty mellow.
Even on the streets, life didn't seem that bad some days.
