A lot of my writing is for myself and my business right now. But as I get more clients and work, I was trying to think of a way to set aside time for my own writing as well. I still want to get something published someday, fiction or non-fiction. I imagine it's easy to forget about that when you are busy writing for others. I was thinking about this the other day.

I was *just* reading last night in "Writing Down to the Bones" about how important it is to practice your writing, which is along these lines...doing something that will surely benefit your craft in some way but maybe not monetarily this second. So I put the book down and wrote in my journal for the first time since May. And it was awesome :D Oh how funny!

That is one of my favorite pics. I did it on a really cool site called funphotobox.com. They have quite a few backgrounds and you just upload a photo after selecting a background - and it's free!

In fact I often wonder why I don't take out more time for my own writing needs. I usually just doodle or make notes in my Moleskine. I never intend to write a novel but who knows what lies in the future. What I do like to do is release more info products but as you already hinted at, it's not easy when clients knock on the door needing copy. I'm not complaining though because today more than ever I take plenty of time out from writing and do other things that make me happy. :) BTW, how did you create that pic of the Joker and you? Awesome irony and yet, who knows, your name might as well appear on the NYT list one day. @ George: You are so right with asking that question.
