Hi @fitinfun, you know I have considered doing that a few times. I like the idea, and what Marianne has been doing. I used to write "Morning Pages" (not sure if you're familiar with Julia Cameron's work and "The Artist's Way?") every day for the same reason... to clear my head. It was just a personal journal, not in any way for "public consumption."
Anyway, thanks for the invitation!
Oh Yes! I am very familiar with Julia. She was my constant guide a few years back. I think you will fit right in - a lot of us are just like this.
As my dad used to say continually, "You need to publish since you are a writer." My first book is on Amazon, and dedicated to his memory instead of to him like it should have been. We are not getting any younger here, so come on down!
Funny thing is, even though I write a lot... I have never been able to actually sit down and write a book. I edit other people's books, and have been an editor/proofreader for 30+ years, and have even done some "ghost writing" for people.
As my wife and I often say to each other: "yup, we're not 29 anymore!"
Holy cow. I have a good 50 books done, or close to on various drives, and shoot me before I edit or proof, lol. It takes all kinds. Many freewriters are just getting into publishing now. Maybe you can light a fire under us. There is so much talent there, and I do not mean mine lol.
Well, I'm gonna give the freewrite gig a try for 30 days... we'll see what happens. I don't have super strong resolve... and I have a busy schedule. But it sounds like fun, and I could definitely use some shorter content....
I'm already ahead of you, thanks to ginabot and your mention. Fantastic job, and mark your busy calendar. This can be a 15 minute task, and I know there is something you can stop doing for that long. Doing the happy dance over here!
