That wasn't my goal, but I have started several novels. Some have been historical in nature, others in the present day.
I have 12 chapters in a book written. It's over at T's house (manuscript). It's been in the works over 6 years now. Very John Grisham-esque.
I have a BA in poetry. I write and have been published in several periodicals, but nothing recently. Now it's amazing if I can write the whole month of NaPoWriMo (April is National Poetry Writing Month)!
the only thing i have ever been published so to speak in the tn court reporter's journal, it was quite fun. i have no inspiration to write anymore, lol it's quite hilarious since i wrote soooo many things in my younger years and haven't really thought about it in years.
I love to write, but I'm more of a journalist than a novelist. I blog, but would love to get back into journalism a la Mrs. Bunny! or PR a la Mrs. Bruschetta!
I write about theatre. All the time. Every day. (Can you tell I'm at the bitter end of a semester that requires about 60 pages of writing..about theatre).
My blogging is my fun-writing. I don't have to cite page numbers, make arguments, or generate knowledge (that's the lecture I received on the first day of my PhD program..."Today, you're no longer a learner of knowledge. Now, you generate knowledge". No pressure or anything!). And I get to talk about WEDDINGS!!
I said all of the above. I have a blog which is the thing that keeps me sane, and in a round about way, I do get paid to write. I'm a writing professor. I teach ESL students, but they are very high level students. Many of them are writing at at least the level of a 1st year native speaker. I write a lot for them, and I also help other people to refine their ideas. When I was in university, writing was an enormous burden for me. However, when I started teaching writing, I found a great joy in teaching structure, creative thinking, and critical thinking.
I had a story published in a reading journal for students when I was in undergrad, and some of my research published from grad school (not exactly the most stimulating stuff), but I've never really been serious about it. I used to write little stories when I was younger from ones that I made up for my little sister and brother - they still have their handwritten copies (complete with stickers and drawings, lol) that I gave them one Christmas when I was like 11.
Now I just write in my own journal, which I find interesting and fulfilling for me. Maybe it's a bit (okay, way) narcissistic, but I'm hoping that my kids and grandkids will get a kick out of it down the road. I mean, who wouldn't be interested to know what I thought about shovelling the driveway yesterday, lol...
I hate writing...mainly because I don't think I'm good at it (hence my photo filled blog posts). But that being said, I would love to write a book one day, just for myself (not necessarily to make profit). Just to say I wrote a book. :o)
Another grad student here, so I write a ton. Right now grant applications and papers, but in the next two years I'll need to turn out a book-length project :/
I actually don't love writing, but I muddle through so I can keep doing the other parts of my job that I do love!
I have an MA in journalism and work in communications, so I do a lot of writing professionally.
It's always been a personal passion of mine and I like using blogging as a creative outlet as well. Sometimes I find it a little difficult though - to write all day and then go home and try to write for fun.
I write press releases, ad copy, magazine articles...stuff like that for work.
I write for work (I'm an RFP Writer) but I also write horror movie reviews on the side (blog is in my profile) I hope to make money on my horror reviews someday but right now I make zero ;o)
I'm an academic, so I write academic writing - replete with footnotes. It's like pulling your hair out, one strand at a time.
Ditto with the academic writers. I'm procrasting on a paper right now, in fact! But my dream is to write for a living...used to want to write fiction but the more blogging I do, the more I want to write nonfiction!
@potatochips- I'm procrastinating a paper right now, too. lol
I write for school, obviously, but I also used to be really into writing short stories and erotica. It's been a while since I've worked on anything.
Law review in law school. I write articles for publication for a local quarterly editorial for which I'm paid. I write in my journal daily. I write love letters and poetry to Mister at least once a week. I write letters to my daughter (she has inherited my love for writing and we write to each other constantly). I write transactional legal documents at work (although I really don't consider this writing because we have soooooo many templates. Law is about not re-inventing the wheel). I recently started my own little wedding blog (www.becomingthebradybunch.blogspot.com). So, yes, I looove writing. And, I'm all of the above. I plan to write, at least, one novel before I turn 50.
I'm a reporter/editor, so I write for a living. I have a blog that I write on for fun, as well as writing for weddingbee. In college I wrote a lot of poetry and even applied to grad school for an MFA in creative writing (didn't get in, though).
You might be surprised to know that I never wanted to be a writer! I wanted to be an editor and majored in journalism because I figured if I wanted to tell other people how to write, I should probably know how to write, myself. :)
I love blogging. But I dont think I can sit down long enough for a novel. I would lose steam halfway through and never finish (if I even make it halfway!)
I write for my own personal enjoyment. I don't normally show the things I write but I normally write poetry or songs. I also have a blog but I haven't shared it with anyone, LOL. It's just very therapeutic sometimes. I'd love to write a book someday but at this point in my life I get too distracted easily to write a full novel.
I loved writing once upon a time. Then I made it my major in college. Seriously, though, I've done National Novel Writing Month 6 times and won all 6 times.
Then I deleted everything.
I have a B.A. in English and am a published young adult mystery writer. I've also been recently hired to write a novelized version of a manga.
Otherwise, I used to journal quite a bit, when I get into the mood. I occasionally blog and I love to write fanfiction, again when I'm in the mood and am inspired.
I am a journalism major, so I chose writing professionally, even though I don't get paid to do it. Actually, right now, I am kind of paying TO do it, since I pay for my writing classes in college! After college, I hope writing will be a part of my job, even though I don't plan to be a reporter like bunny.
i used to write a lot of poetry and i've always wanted to publish it, but haven't really thought about it/put any effort into it for a good 10 years i suppose. one of those things that if the day were 2 hours longer...
I love to write! Writing a novel is on my goal list for sure. I blog in part to stay in the habit of writing daily, plus I think that writing for an audience (even the small one my blog has) is different than what I write in my personal journal. I have several novels/stories started, but nothing I'd even think of publishing. That will be my SAHM project, I think. A novel or a cookbook.
I write project proposals for work..but "for fun" writing would just be my blog. And about 100 pages written of a novel I've yet to finish..it's on my "after the wedding" list. :)
I used to write all the time, but college has killed that part of me. *sigh* I have been published in the past and at one point I had a few books in the works. These days I write essays and tests, that's it. Well, I have a long standing blog too, but nothing literary. I hope that if I take a break from school for a year or two my pleasure writing will return. I hope to write and publish a history book one day.
I am an inspiring writer! I've taken a few writing classes in college, and have considered it as my major as well... I really enjoy it - it's fun but it's also a release for me. Someday I want to be published.
I have a BA in Journalism and am absolutely thrilled that I get paid to go to work and WRITE everyday!! I'm a copywriter for a toy company, so I name toys, write ads, write instruction manuals, write press releases... I love writing so much and am so delighted that I get to do it as a profession. HOWEVER - Being a creative writer f/t is draining on personal projects - I get home and have zero creative juice left for my own stuff. Hence, my internal dilemma about applying to be a bee - I love to write, would LOVE to be a bee, but I'm worried I'm too lazy!! I need to get my arse in gear and get that wedding blog going!!
I write poems and have a BA in English and a minor in journalism. I write and get paid to write on a women's blog...and I love it! Just wish I had more time from my fulltime job (data entry) to write more.
@D.Marie, you answered one of the questions I was going to come back and ask - Do any of you other writer ladies who write full-time, or just write a lot professionally or academically struggle with doing your own creative work?
I'm whatever the opposite of a writer is. I'm terrible at writing-- for me it's like pulling teeth. I over-analyze everything.
So yes, this Bee is not a writer. At all. Makes me quite nervous sometimes. :p
@scissors - that surprises me because your posts are really creative, edgy and fun! I think you have more writer in you than you think ;) The fact that you're an artist definitely comes through in your writing... Your posts are FUN FUN FUN... and I totally died laughing when you tweeted about "one pump chump" and the ally ass leaking.. hahaha
@SD- You're too sweet. I guess I just hide it well. :p (Or hide it well from you, at least. Muahahaha!) My tweets tend to be on the... random side. :) I still have to write that "one pump chump" post. lol
Yeah, I keep wanting to know what it's about. Of course my dirty mind goes to one thing!!!
@SD- Lol, of course it does. :p It's in reference to my dress, actualllllly. I need to write it pretty STAT, but I need to sleeps first. (Plus Mr. Scissors is snoring, and that makes writing difficult).
I'm a paid journalist and photographer. It's awesome.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I noticed in this thread that many bees listed writing or publishing a book as one of the five things they wanted to accomplish in life. Since I'm a writer myself, I was curious; how many bees are working on a project to fulfill that goal? I know there are a ton of blogging bees buzzing around, and a few pro writing bees as well. Does anyone have a project they're really excited about? With a poll just for shiggles.
Right now I'm mainly writing papers for college (ugh, I would rather eat nails), but I'm super pumped for the semester to be over so I can get back to my blog, my two WIP stories, and (nerd confession time, I can't believe I'm admitting to this!) the play-by-post RP my friends and I run. Heh. And, er, I need to find a writing job too. I swear, I'm going to develop carpal tunnel if I keep this up...
Are there any other bees as writing-obsessed as I am? :P
