One of the blogs I was reading yesterday referred to the concept of “morning pages.” I had read Julia Cameron’s book, The Artists’s Way, back in 2001 at the time when my first grandson was born, and I really got into journaling at that . . . → Read More: 5 am musings, part 2: morning pages and other writing-related thoughts I NEED TO GET MY WRITING BUSINESS ORGANIZED! April 22, 2010 I am thinking I really need to get more organized. First of all, I need to jot things down the moment I think of them. The old memory isn’t as self-sticky-noted as it used to be!

MY WRITING KIT April 22, 2010 So now it’s nearly bed-time, and I’m tucked into my cozy bed (which often turns out to be one of my most productive writing spots!). I have brought my new “writing kit” with me. It is actually just a magazine file box with the following items in it: - my creative writing . . . → Read More: my writing kit WRITER’S BLOCK… BRAINSTORMING… MIND-MAPPING… STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS I moderate a small “writers e-group” and one of the members suggests a single word every couple weeks, which the other members are to take and turn into a poem, story, article, bit of humor, or what-have-you.
