What to write, what to write

Yeah, so all my screenwriting friends recommend writing as much as possible to help me improve as a writer and keep my creativity going.  I've decided (to try) to post a blog entry every day.  I'm not doing a whole lot right now other that job searching and watching House reruns so I don't know what I'll have to say.  I guess I can talk about looking for a job.  After months of slogging through ten medical billing courses I'm looking for the day job.  Besides the economy, I'm dealing with the vicious cycle of being turned down because I lack real world experience but how does one get experience without a job?  At least on the writing front, business is booming.  I'm anxiously awaiting my professional analysis of my screenplay, Mind the Gap.  I've discovered two good writing resources.  The first is an ebook called Making it as a Screenwriter, available for purchase at http://www.meadkerr.com/. The proceeds go to a charity and it was personally recommended to me by James Moran, who doesn't like any screenwriting book so it must be worth a glance.  The second is a website where writers of all sorts can read and critique each others work- http://www.triggerstreet.com/ .  In order to upload my text for reading I must first read four other works, so I have a lot of reading to do. Even though its a ton of work I really like this policy.  Similar exchange sites I have joined have yielded nothing.  Guess I better dive in!  See y'all tomorrow! :D
