    From October 1, 2005- September 30, 2006 I posted a daily 5 minute
    writing exercise addressing aspects of craft as varied as point
    of view, dialogue, and beginnings. Most are mine, but several
    are from other poets and writers, as you will see. "Giant
    Golden Buddha" and the other 364 are now posted here.
    I hope they are both fun and useful.

        3 Tips for You



        #1: Always
        keep your pen on the page, or fingers on the keyboard-- unless
        you want to stop writing. 



        #2: Think of detail that appeals to all of the
        senses



        #3: No rules. Yes, fun.
