A Guest Post By Kimberlee Ferrell.
Enjoying small town life and her two daughters, Kimberlee Ferrell still carves out time to write. Her blog, Freedom Writing, explores writing, parenting, and anything that flows out of her pen. Stop by to investigate the inner workings of her mind, and to learn more about her copywriting, proofreading, and [...]

In the first part of this series, we talked about how you can write while in your car.  Now that we have the What, it’s time to focus on the How.  Selecting the right digital recorder may now seem like a big task.  You can find some out there in most Big Box [...]

You’re probably looking at the the title and thinking “What? Writing while I drive? Do you want me to get killed?” No, I don’t wish you ill (unless you cut me off, then I may feel differently).  But I would like to talk about using some of the most unproductive time you [...]

How I love the feel of the early mornings.  It’s great to wake up to the freshness of a new day with all those writing hours to fill.
What puts me off getting out of bed is the thought of all the things I have to do first, before I can sit down at the computer [...]

Have you ever stumbled across something you wrote years ago and cringed? While some writers tend to throw away old works or pieces that just don’t work I am a bower bird. I gather up and archive by date everything I’ve worked on and as such have computer disks of articles, poems, stories, snippets, plots [...]

A few months ago I dreamed of a very special room. It was a beautiful haven where I could write; an office of my own. I wandered through my dream, enjoying the visualization with a sense of exploration and wonder. My subconscious was designing my ideal writer’s office and the image remains a sharp, focused [...]

While working on “The Tools Of Poetry Workshop” tonight I stumbled across a small snippet of extra interest:
