Skimming my bookshelf today, my eyes landed on "Everyday Creative Writing," a book I had to purchase for a college course in the Spring of 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I flipped through the book, and I saw where I'd marked exercises we did in my class. However, there are big portions of the book that we didn't get around to doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I decided to start this blog strictly to work my way through this book. Each entry will be an exercise, and my goal is to update a minimum of once a week. Preferably, multiple times a week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I welcome people to join me! The more you practice your craft, the better you get!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7715707383629430548-3354313661920652723?l=denise-mattox.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://denise-mattox.blogspot.com/feeds/3354313661920652723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://denise-mattox.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-am-i-doing.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715707383629430548/posts/default/3354313661920652723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7715707383629430548/posts/default/3354313661920652723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://denise-mattox.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-am-i-doing.html' title='What am I doing??'/><author><name>Denise</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-86aELvLBU9o/Thp1HGCbxTI/AAAAAAAAAGk/AxfR5NX4Sks/s220/239-avatar-500.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NOnhRNiM2NU/TDglwx3SqhI/AAAAAAAAAB0/y1UfMP-eM_8/s72-c/4778865871_5e63a9f6bc_b.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
