How I did it: I began a blog several months ago. My original one was to manage my feelings from something bad that happened in my marriage. My renewed blog, when Blogger failed me, was to start over on Wordpress. It is pretty awesome. It has good templates, and I have been inspired to write something almost every single day since April 8th. I feel I have completed this goal because in addition to making me write more blog posts, I have started writing emails and other stories as well. It uncapped my creative block. It is also a neutral dumping ground, since I am under an anonymous name, and don't mention any place/person in my life by their real names. I use it as my therapeutic outlet, so sometimes its funny, often sad, and talks about my real life, not the front I present to everyone. It heals.

Lessons & tips: Just write whatever you are thinking. Don't worry if its any good or if people are reading it or what they think. Write for yourself. The rest will follow.

Resources: Livejournal, Wordpress, reading other blogs for inspiration.
