Any other writers out there? Mostly I write fiction (comic horror, to be precise, along the lines of Christopher Moore or Robert Rankin), and I'm very infrequently published.

In my colorful past I was a poet and a news writer.

For poetry I generally lean toward beat styles. As for the news while Hunter S. Thompson was my icon I was never that flowery.

Hello Richard,

I am in Information Technology.

But my not-so-secret aspiration is to write (and get published...and paid).

Can you point me to something that you have written that I could read? Your genre sounds like fun!

I write a lot of things like fundraising letters, newsletter articles, press releases, and ad copy, but not in the "professional writer" sense. I am working on a novel, though.

I've been a technical writer for 14 years (although I want to get back into programming now that my kids are older). I've also written (but not yet published) a book on homeschooling. I've also done a fair amount of editing. I write haiku, many of which have been published (mostly in Belgium, where they appreciate haiku that include poppies).

My sister just published a book she was on t.v. radio the whole nine yards.

I was very impressed.

I've been a software technical writer for about 6 years now (hi, Heather!). I *love* my job because it combines my love for writing with my knack for problem-solving and figuring out things.
I also like to write poetry and am trying to be a blogger.

I'm not a writer, but my brother is aspiring to be. I think his heroes are Glen Cook and Terry Pratchett. I have pre-edited several of his stories. He has taken up the NanWrimo challenge for the past three years (I think). I don't write, but I do like to go there just to see what being written.

I have been encouraging several Train(eo)ers to consider the idea of creating a blog that would celebrate the philosophy and joy of fitness...to put wellness in a broader, almost non-technical context.

Are any of you interested in contributing to such a site? Do you think it would attract readers?

@All:

Inspired by Vrinda GetsFit's postings about a variety of exercise-related topics, as well as those of other writers, I've created the Holistic Health blog on Vox. I hope you'll use it as a virtual meeting space in which you can express your thoughts about the joy, philosophy and broader context of health and fitness.

Contact me at vox.holistic.health [at] gmail [dot] com if you need an invitation to join vox.
