Mo's comments from the Writers Who Read group.

I am an attorney which means all of my creative energy was zapped in law school. In law school, I was taught that the way I'd learned to write as an English major in my undergraduate studies was all wrong! I had to learn to conform to the BORING style of legal writing. Therefore, I am still trying to recover - still trying to get my creative energy back.

I have writer's block right now and have had this for some time. I have an online journal that I write in sometimes. My new goal is to write something - anything - everyday to get back into the swing of writing. I would like to write children's fantasy fiction. I also like short stories and non-fiction essays. As I begin exploring more, who knows what else I may find to like.

I read fiction the most.

I'm still trying to develop a writing ritual.

I like Mark's note about writing ideas on slips of paper. It's also interesting that he writes things by hand. This could perhaps be my problem. I try to type everything by computer. This group is inspiring me already . . .
