		<description><![CDATA[There is a central importance to critique groups for writers. The world of a writer can often be an isolated one. Writers, like everyone else in life generally, will benefit from balanced feedback about their writing. Being a part of a critique group, as a writer, can really improve the quality of your writing.

		<description><![CDATA[Once an individual starts writing, its almost impossible for him/her to stop. Writing becomes a person's passion, joy and compulsion. A serious  writer writes at the bus stop, in the dentist's office, in cafe‚'s, as well as on beaches, in lonely woods, at his computer, and sometimes even in bed. Some writers begin as hobbyists or recreational writers, jotting down ideas after work or on the weekends when they have a free hour. They may find themselves spending more and more time at the writing venture until they think about it most of the day.

		<description><![CDATA[It is always best for writers to write about what they are passionate about. If something really matters to you, you should write about that because you will have the most likelihood to have the manuscript written. Otherwise, writers who don't have a passion about what they are writing have a tendency to let such ariticles, blogs, or manuscripts fall by the wayside before completing them.

		<description><![CDATA[For many the New Year is a time when people “reconnect” with themselves: spiritually, mentally, or physically. They overlook one valuable place. Often, if they multi-task they forget that they also need to renew themselves in one critical area, in this case their work, especially in the case of writers. For many writers, there is no such thing as a holiday or time off. Writers can be critical of taking such time since often it is the only type of way to make or keep money. A time of renewal, however is vital. The New Year is the perfect time in which to renew.

		<description><![CDATA[There are two kinds of writing patterns that all writers engage in. Patterns that work and patterns that don't work. Writers seem to develop patterns without thinking and some of these patterns are less than productive for us, especially over time. Developing writing patterns is usually helpful. Writing patterns can help save time and to become more efficient. But not in all cases.

		<description><![CDATA[Can writers hold back time? Can writers bring a time long since passed from life? A simplistic answer is a resounding yes, but this answer lacks some power, as there are many non-fiction writers who do not write with an ease that makes a reader long to continue reading their work. Some are more popular now, however their time is fleeting, and others who were never popular in their own lifetimes, yet they are considered masters of a craft that is unforgiving at best.

		<description><![CDATA[If you write a book, you are going to be monk-like sequestered, but the comparison goes deeper than just the physicality the two endeavours share. Faith means not worrying. That is what can be called a fearless, focussed writer. If you write, at some point, you give yourself over to the process. You let the book write you.

		<description><![CDATA[In order to develop a healthy and enjoyable writing life, we must all learn to curb our habit of negative self-talk before, during and after our writing sessions. Negative self-talk is all of those negative things that we tell ourselves over and over. Negative self-talk can create a lack of confidence and lead to procrastination, or even writer's block.

		<description><![CDATA[Very few writers have complete confidence in their own writing. Even well published authors struggle with their confidence and that usually has a signifcant negative impact on their ability to write consistently. Having confidence means having belief in and trust for one's own abilty, in this case, to write. Writing is the art and craft of clearly communicating in ways that express what it is one wants to convey. Having some confidence in your ability to do that is necessary for the writer to write.

		<description><![CDATA[I was reminded of how writing requires discipline by one of my writing friends who called me the other day and was complaining that she hasn't written anything for weeks because she was too busy to simply sit down and write. She was the inspiration for this blog because I think that so many writers are in this boat. We feel pressured to do so many different things in a day, but usually writing isn't one of them. And that is okay unless you consider yourself to be a writer.
