If I truly have nothing to say, then I keep quiet, but usually there is *something* worth mentioning and writing about every few days.

I write something every day (okay, I've failed at times). I always have notepaper close and jot down any idea that comes into my head. I suspect if I wrote all those notes up into prose, I'd be writing for over a hundred years.<br> I like the prompts because they test my ability to come up with ideas quick and to a deadline. And I have to admit, they've revitalised the old imagination.anthonynorthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06680944720744601697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6820615718469502862.post-79165288296990413822008-08-27T14:20:00.000-07:002008-08-27T14:20:00.000-07:00November and April - are the months where I commit...November and April - are the months where I commit to writing 'practice'.
