How Much Creative Writing Do You Do?

[Flying Headbutt]

And I don't mean for work, but for your own pleasure or amusement? With getting paid for it somehow no where near the top of the list of why you wrote whatever fiction/poetry/limericks/short stories/future novels/whatever else that you did?

I've started a screenplay and have an idea for another. It's purely for ****s and giggles.

 

[STLIrish]

None, really. Not since college. I burn most of my creative energies at work. What's left I **** away around here.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

I have an idea for a movie. I have an idea for a book. I and a coworker have an idea for a sitcom.

The coworker and I have plotted out one show.

That's as far as I've gone - and will likely go. I have no time.

No, no, no. I can't draw. I plot these things out strictly with stick figures.

I like to write a lot of short stories, but haven't really had time lately. I need to get back to doing that.

 

[Mayfly]

I write poetry, short stories, and working on a novel.

Can I write the foreword? :D

You could do that once I let you know what the novel is about.

Sweet. I'll check back in five or so years. :D

I have 8 chapters down, so I figure I far ahead of Brian on this one.

I invite everyone posting on this thread to stop by the Writers' Workshop for our upcoming Armistice Day mixer. We'll be serving boxed wine and fondue and talking about writing, creative and otherwise. Bring your own cheeses or potted meats.

My meat will be in a box. Is that ok?

 

[jgmacg]

I'll check with Jones.

I guess that rules out my monthly expense reports.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Niiiiiiiice.

I got into the business to write, but for various reasons my career ended up going down the production path. At the beginning of last year, I started writing in my spare time and it's been a Godsend. I desperately needed a creative outlet. Just wish I had some idea how to do that for a living instead of what I currently do.

Yesterday I hammered out 1,600 words on a short story in an hour-and-a-half. First time I've done that in like eight months. I'd like to do it more but as most of us would point out, there should be an end justifying the means. I wish.
