I use to love writing. poems and essay, But I notice since I have added responsibility I hardly write anymore. It so difficult now a days to even write a letter, even writing topics for mylot is getting very difficult. But I still make some effort.I think I am going to write more often than usual. Althought it so difficult to find topics about I still see it as a good websight.

I like to write and I don't know why. I am not a good writer but I do like to read and that is some kind of vicarious writing. Cheers!!!

If you like writing, take a look at "Review Stream". This is a site where you can write brief reviews about a variety of topics, things you see and come across in your day to day life. You get paid for writing the reviews. I have been writing reviews for this site for about four months now, and I am enjoying it as a hobby ! Have a nice time !

I still love to write. I really enjoy it. I've been writing since my early teens. Writing is and has been my therapy. It has helped me a lot over the years. I really have no plans of stopping.

Hi Willy, I recently found my voice in writing once again. First off, you want to start off in baby steps. I highly recommend that you set yourself with small appointments to write. For example get up an hour earlier each morning, devote say 30 minutes of that time to write. And it doesn't strictly have to be writing, it could be researching a story idea or creating a character for a story. If you are interested in possibly writing a memoir or just want someone who has fantastic ideas on writing in general, you might want to check out Natalie Goldberg, she is a fabulous instructor on writing memoir, etc. She recently had a new book hit the market called "Old Friend from Far Away" She gives you ideas on how to write a memoir but she also explains how these suggestions can also be used in other forms of writing. She has other books like "Writing down the Bones" This book takes you through great writing exercises that you can do to kick your writing into gear. There are a ton of great writing websites out there that you might want to consider looking into for example Helium. This site gives you different topics to write about. This will also help you increase your research abilities. If you are still looking for times to write. I suggest keeping a spiral notebook and a pen on hand in your car or in a bag that you take with you. If you are at the doctors office waiting, there is usually 15 minutes in the lobby that you can use to write, how about getting your oil changed or other car repairs, if you have to wait, there is writing time there. The little times are the best way to start, these are some of the ways I would actually find my time to write. Now, I own my own tea and coffee shop, when we don't have customers, after I have done what I need to for my shop, I sit and write. Or I research a topic that I am getting ready to write about. Good luck with your writing!

Sometimes I go through phases where I dont write anything for like an entire month, and I just feel completely lost throughout that time. I try to find as much time as I can to write tons of different things.
