December 2 Writing
What do you do each day that doesn't contribute to your writing - and can you eliminate it?
Well. I don't consider myself a serious writer. I mean, it would be wicked awesome to write a book someday or something...actually, it's something I've always wanted to do. But this blog? It's not supposed to be professional. It's not even an obligation. So even if something weren't contributing to my writing, I wouldn't be concerned about it.
That being said, I must answer the prompt! So I suppose I have this habit of watching the same TV series over and over again...I suppose that could be stifling creativity as a result of inspiration from new material. In my own defense, however, I am knitting or crocheting while I watch the shows, so it's nicer for me to watch a show I've seen before so I can follow the story without looking at the screen as much. It turns out, I have to look while I crochet. I know there are people that can do it without looking, but I lack that particular skill.
I suppose I could try to work more time into my day to work on writing, but as I said, I'm not really serious about it. Don't get me wrong, I love blogging, but writing more just isn't on my list of goals.

i've always been a hobbyist writer. writing was - and is - my connection to myself. it's always been a big clue that something is seriously wrong in my life when i don't have a journal from a given period. there are several years from the beginning of my marriage when i didn't write a word. that's one of the many things that tipped me off that something was very, very wrong. writing just kinda... defines me, i guess. i get itchy if i don't do it for too long.
Well, you're very good at it so keep it up!
