Blogging has made me a better writer, but I've got to keep at it and have something to say. A couple years ago my husband built a treehouse, and it sat in the maples until it got taken over by mice. Last year he decided to offer it for rent as a sort of B&B on a website called airbed & breakfast (airbnb.com). We cleaned it up and have had over a hundred guests, some crazies coming even in the winter. I write a blog entry for each party who comes, and I believe the blogs are getting more interesting. I've always found it uncomfortable writing about myself, but I'm starting to add a few personal touches to my observations about our guests. You can check it out at http://louellabryant.blogspot.com. I'm not suggesting you rent out a treehouse or even a room, but if you can find a routine of some sort that excites you to write, you'll be off and running. Best luck, Susan!
