I write for the marketing department of a college. It is often the same thing just phrased differently.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027229777663171623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597215201572134429.post-68442664497612021032011-06-12T15:42:07.212+02:002011-06-12T15:42:07.212+02:00Do I write the same thing over again?

Lesson plans tweaked but similar material which is in the end only viewed by my students.<br /><br />I look forward to reading your blog and seeing your progress. I'd like to say I too am a fledgling author but I have not yet found the time to commit to this life long dream. I've decided to start small with a commitment to blog about eating mindfully, gardening and some environmental health issues to focus my thoughts.<br /><br />As for clearing my mind, I find walking helps. It always slows me down mentally and brings me back to the here and now so I can think things anew.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054898108264896139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597215201572134429.post-58103063967079707512011-06-11T22:44:12.174+02:002011-06-11T22:44:12.174+02:00I read poetry to absorb the meter, the beat of the...I read poetry to absorb the meter, the beat of the words but other than writing a mean limerick, composing the stuff is not my forte.<br /><br />I gain perspective or wake my muse on a treadmill. Really. I mean seriously, I do :)<br /><br />My blogs provide enough variety to keep my creative juices alive.Huntresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155372788872245758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597215201572134429.post-88997931471461687452011-06-10T23:45:40.070+02:002011-06-10T23:45:40.070+02:00I do think it's important to branch out and wr...I do think it's important to branch out and writing different things. I keep my non-fiction skills honed by maintaining two blogs. I like to dabble in different genres too. It's all fun :)Lynda R Young as Elle Cardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975442291393246148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597215201572134429.post-75740779802120421642011-06-10T17:40:43.128+02:002011-06-10T17:40:43.128+02:00Great tip.

I don't switch over often, but I switched to my story idea for a day this week just so that I could face revisions again. <br /><br />It did wonders. :-)Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.com
