Help me improve myself
So I have this blog that I am really doing nothing at all with, and I started brainstorming ways to use the blog to work on my writing, which was sort of my original intent in starting it. So, here is where my lovely friends come in: I've decided to do a weekly "assigned writing exercise" that I will post. To get me started, it would be wonderful if some of you who read my lj would comment with writing exercise ideas; it can be an essay, a short scene, a snippet of fanfiction. Just make it somewhat challenging.
I'm also going to start writing about the books I'm reading once a week. I do a lot of reading at work, because certain hours of the night, practically no one ever calls and I get bored. This week is White Oleander by Janet Fitch; next week, who knows?
I am serious about wanting to enrich my writing, and now that I'm no longer in school, this seems like a good way to do it. I want to eventually be a strong enough writer, with enough of a platform, to actually make something approaching a living from it. Please, if you would, help me out--and you might even derive some entertainment from it!
