[stylist] New Writers Questions

[Homme, James]

Hi,
When you turn 50, things start going, so I forget if I said what my background is. I'm a computer geek, who has gone from being a very bad writer to getting better at it, so I joined this list to explore what it might be like to do freelance writing part time. As a former professional musician, I know what to do daily to maintain and grow in music, so Brenda's mention of a journal prompted me to ask this series of questions.

As a writer, what is your daily routine?

If you keep a journal, what do you use? I started a password protected Word document, since I share a computer. Is there a better way?

What reference materials on writing do you use, both online and offline?

If I only have a half hour a day to devote to moving forward in my writing explorations, what is the best use of my time?

Thanks.

Jim
