Thought I'd get this rolling with a poll. Wondering what kind of writing most of us do.

Since I work in government I don't do a lot of creative wring (some may differ in that opinion) but I took advanced writing workshops in college and loved writing short stories. I need to get into the rhythm again of writing something of my choosing everyday. I just hope I haven't lost all that creativity through years of technical writing. I think this will help keep me motivated.

Another thing to share; if anyone is a fan of podcasts, check out lThe Writer Files I really like the host's voice, plus I'm a sucker for anything that talks about process and habits. |

I'm trying to get back into blogging. I post at www.ludakristen.com. Subes, do you still actively blog? |

I traditionally published a young adult novel several years ago-I am thinking about getting back into it- maybe self-pubbing this time.

Suby and others- do any of you use Jeff Goins 3-bucket technique?
It goes:
Fill your three buckets every day (or almost every day, or as often every week as you can)
- capture your ideas for writing as they strike you (someplace you can access them)
- Write 500 words today, based on one of the ideas in your notes (character idea, essay idea, etc.)
- then set it aside and edit/polish a 500-word piece you wrote previously to get it ready for use (blog post, scene in longer work, etc- doesn't have to remain 500 words)
and that's your daily work
I think I could do that-

Here's a resource for freewriting if anyone is interested. It can be used in conjunction with The Artists Way if you like. |

Ha, I've been reading through the less traveled boards to see how things are going and am thinking I may like to join in here. I am working (very slowly) on a true crime book where I have a crossing with the murder victim about year before he is murdered.

suby, I just noticed this thread today. I know it's kind of died, but I want to start writing more, so if you're still interested in making this thread happen, I promise to participate.
