surveysays I've not used writing.com before, but I do know about poetry.com's scam. (I'm a poet too.) I clicked the link in the original comment here, and it looks like writing.com is something totally different (though I didn't explore very far). Poetry.com gets...

I write mostly poetry and nonfiction. I don't do fiction too well. How about you?

surveysays I used to do a fair bit of copy writing for ads and stuff. I've got a few articles published on the web too. I do some copywriting for ads still, but not a whole lot. I find that kind of draining to do.

surveysays Hey! That's really cool to hear about your writing credits! You should follow up on the leads you get... maybe it will work out better in the future. Good luck on that novel!

surveysays I used to write songs when I was younger. It's how I got started writing poetry, actually. I don't think I still have any of those. I have a feeling I would be hugely embarrassed if I ever came across them again!

surveysays I am not sure why fiction is as hard for me as it is, but I think it is because I don't seem to be able to come up with good story lines. Let us know how yours goes!

surveysays I know the feeling! I forgot to mention that I write a lot of correspondence too. It used to be letters, but now more by email.

surveysays Maybe you could post some romantic poems for your female friends here! I enjoy the expression poetry makes possible too.

surveysays Essays are a fun way to write, I think. Do you get any of yours published? Any good markets for publishing you'd like to point us to?

Writing exercises?

surveysays @surveysays (278) • Singapore 11 Jan 07

Do you have any writing exercises, "games," or techniques that you use to get the juices flowing? Why not share them here so other writers can benefit from them too? I'd love to have a new set of games, exercises, and...

surveysays I know what you mean about creative writing not paying monetarily. I think most of us who are writers find other ways to support ourselves. (Well, unless you are J K Rowling or something like that!) It is good that you can support yourself through writing,...

surveysays A spin doctor! :-) I'm going to start listening through all the politicalese now and see if I can hear the poetry in it. I'll know who to credit when I find it, now.

surveysays I'll look forward to seeing that link posted here. It would be fun to go and check out your blog postings of your writing. I'd be happy to stop in and give some feedback.

surveysays I know what you mean. The more poetry you write, the more you seem to think poetically, don't you? Even the way you see the world is shaped by it, I think.

surveysays Do you blog anywhere? It sounds like you do enough writing to put together a very nice blog. Would you like to leave a link for us to visit?

surveysays I am pretty much the same way. I read tons of fiction, and it inspires me to write more... just not to write fiction.

surveysays I love reading fantasy books. I could probably manage to follow the story arc of a good fantasy novel if I were writing, but I seem to dry up when it comes to putting together an interesting story.
