How much writing do you do?

[Phoenix84]

A while ago I asked how much math you do. Now I'm asking how much writing do you do on a regular basis in both your professional life and personal life. What kinds of things do you write, and do you enjoy writing?

I'm about to start my great Christmas card project.  Every year I send out about 30 cards to family and friends out of the area, with a page of pictures and a hand-written letter.  No generic printed one mentioning friends your relatives don't know and vice versa.  I never fail to get at least one heartfelt comment from one of the recipients each year about how much this means to them.  (The rest do send cards except the younger generation, and I let them know I don't expect it if they're not into it).

Other than that- I do two things on-line.  One is TripAdvisor reviews, where I have over 250, also under the name Athena53.  The other is a travel blog that I update on my major trips.  I guess I'm just a frustrated travel writer.

I'm a Marketing Communications Manager - I write and edit all day every day for work.

I blog sometimes in my personal life as well.

Writing, now, I do for school. Papers, discussion forum posts, etc.

At work, one of my primary jobs is to review documents. I'll do some editing/word smithing..but mostly I point out where other people have made mistakes and ask them to fix it.

I don't know if I like writing anymore. I guess it doesn't really matter if I "like" it or not. I still have to do it.

But, I am good at pointing out other people's mistakes/shortcomings/inconsistencies.

Even after a while, though, that does get tiring.

I work for the Navy. Writing official correspondence from my command to other commands is a big part of what I do.

Usually the letters aren’t more than a page or two, but it has to meet strict style and editing requirements because it’s military correspondence.

Other than that, most of my writing is here.

I used to write a lot while I was working.  These days, not so much.

When I was taking classes, I wound up being responsible for reports associated with group projects.  After the first one someone else wrote and I needed to clean it up.  I discovered it was better that I just take over the writing, unless I wanted 'super' and 'awesome' incorporated liberally in the text.  It wasn't helping the others learn to write, but dammit it was MY grade too!

I write some as a teacher.  It's primarily reflections as part of a book study that I'm participating in.  I do a whole lot more editing of student work.

I used to write a lot personally.  I started one or two blogs, but I just didn't have time to keep it up.  But I still write a lot of long emails to families and friends.  My husband swears he fell in love with me over my emails.

I do a lot of quick emails at work, and some response letters to the IRS. Those are pretty standard.

Since I became interested in fountain pens I’ve been writing a lot more than I ever have before. I journal and write quotes or favorite passages of books. I also do drills to try to improve my penmanship. I enjoy it. More than the language aspect I find it interesting to see how a pen will respond differently based on the type of paper and ink used. I find it soothing and a good way to unwind at the end of the day.

I write my three aunts weekly.

I write a lot of emails for work. I write lots of technical requirements and white papers as well.
