Anywhere from (at least) 30 minutes a night to 2 hrs.<br /><br />I worry sometimes about running out of mat'l but mostly about finding time to write-period. I am going to school, remodeling a home (for son), trying to finish three nonfiction books, post to two blogs, and then there's laundry, cleaning, dishes. Other than that, I don't have much to do. (Sounds like a blog or article to me. (Got to go to write it.)

That way if someday I run out, I can just go to my trusty list. But I think writing breeds more writing. The more you're writing the more your brain churns to come up with more ideas, then you try to work them into the genre you're targeting at that time...Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336775205213401378.post-60130351801416285462009-08-06T08:56:49.682-05:002009-08-06T08:56:49.682-05:00Good ideas for fresh writing ideas!

I agree with the point in the previous comment - write down an idea when it first comes to you. Even if you don't have time to develop it, the idea is down and not entrusted to "memory," which for me is a sure way of losing it!

Or maybe I was saving them for "the big one", lol. Now I am learning that an idea is best when it first comes to me. I have the passion to write about it. There are nuances in the original idea that will be gone if I wait until a better use for it to come up. This has resulted in giving me lots of little successes along the way. (I don't mean being published. I just mean the success of an idea well expressed.) I too, worry that all this writing in the now will use it up, but I'm trying to trust that as God keeps doing things in my life there will be a natural supply of material as a result. Good thoughts. Thanks for the tips.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929077783405239714noreply@blogger.com
