I've been trying to increase my daily writing, but really I struggle more with fitting in reading although I know it is just as important.<br /><br />www.anythingimagined.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656368340547599511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-61660475886683528272012-09-13T10:10:43.108-07:002012-09-13T10:10:43.108-07:00You're very welcome, Steph!

I thought the quote from Rowling was an interesting one, as I for one certainly didn't imagine finding the time to write would be a challenge for writers like Rowling. <br /><br /><br />And too funny about the blog post topics! I do recall you mentioning this to me in the past...I suppose our minds work on similar wavelengths. :)Ava Jaehttp://avajae.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-47605285541913795482012-09-12T10:45:02.538-07:002012-09-12T10:45:02.538-07:00How exciting!

Kind of good to hear, actually, that even famous, talented, professional writers like Rowling still struggle sometimes with writing consistently.<br /><br />What's also interesting (and slightly odd) is that my blog posts seem to sort of parallel yours sometimes; I'm about to put up a post tonight that is on a similar theme. This isn't the first time this has happened, either. I write a blog entry, save it in my wordpress drafts, then check out your blog to discover that you just posted about a similar topic! I swear I'm not trying to copy you! :-P<br /><br />Ah, well. Great minds thinking alike and all that, I guess... ;-)Grace Robinsonhttp://twitter.com/StorytellerGRLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-56369736332480958302012-09-12T10:18:02.617-07:002012-09-12T10:18:02.617-07:00I recently decided to join a group of online blogg...I recently decided to join a group of online bloggers in a 'fast draft' session (two weeks of writing 5k words a day). I've found I really need to push myself to make time for writing. It seems to come easiest at the butt crack of dawn when I'm high on my third cup of coffee :)<br /><br />nickieanderson.blogspot.comAngela Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-613284276519374632012-09-12T08:26:37.038-07:002012-09-12T08:26:37.038-07:00I really like that point, Lev.

It's more free form, less directed perhaps, but it's the kind of work you need to do between times sitting at your keyboard--and it's crucial.Lev Raphaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-24616427267286705422012-09-12T05:43:31.635-07:002012-09-12T05:43:31.635-07:00Great advice.

I try to vary it from online writing prompts, to journals, editing WIP, creative writing, blogposts and sometimes just making notes or bits and pieces. <br />I find it more difficult to include reading actual books, rather than a handful of blogs, but reading is just as important to hone my craft!Lisa Shambrookhttp://twitter.com/LastKrystallosnoreply@blogger.com
