Lets get to know each other a little more! If you have time copy & paste this below w/ your answers instead of mine.

Where do you live? Marblehead, Massachuetts

How old are you? 46 (tomorrow - yikes!)

Do you have kids (if yes how many)? Yes, I have 2.

What is your favorite type of writing? I've always like writing personal essays, bu I dabbled in fiction and enjoyed it.  I definitely have a more commercial tone, not literary.  I'm currently working on a children's picture book, which is fun but a little frustrating.  I guess I mostly like writing in my diary, but no one will pay me for that...unless...

 

Do you write for a living (if you do are you freelance?) or just for fun? I'm trying to make some money from writing.  But, inreality, I'm still not sure what I ultimately want to do.  I've been in advertising and a reading tutor and lots of other stuff.  I guess I like to do lots of things, so finding one thing is hard.

What is your dream career? (this can be writing or anything else) I would love to have a series of children's books and I would love to be a columnist and speaker on teen issues.

 

What is one area you could strengthen in your goal to be a great writer? I work really well under deadline, and not so well without a deadline.  I would like to be more disciplined.

 

I look fwd to reading everyone else's responses!

I can totally relate to the procrastination issue.  In fact, I'm  procrastinating now!

Procrastination seems to be one of the #1 problems for many writers in the group. Perhaps you could each help each other get motivated? Or maybe (if everyone would like) we could do a bi-weekly writing contest? We could choose a different theme (ie poetry one week, fictional short story another, etc.)? We could post the entries and hold votes to declare the winners and maybe get some helpful feedback as well?
