Articles for lit and poetry journals, mainstream poetry, also backstream. Articles for education and ed. marketing journals, magazines for teens, and just started writing queries for the first chapter of a BDSM novel.

X-men fanfiction, usually with some humor to it.
The occasional dark, horrific drama. I had one I couldn't get through until I put in some references that were funny to me (but, hopefully, not in context of the story) and until I knew how it ended.

I've done some historical research writing for nominees for the National Trust's various designations and for a while I was writing host segments for cable movie channels. I also have a couple of screenplays I'm too lazy to shop, ditto for some short stories, usually gen or mystery.

Lets see.....research reports for my internship, case studies and articles for professional journals.
For my free time I write in my journal. I've kept one for the last several years. It includes things from my decision to study in the States to my facing culture shock to my graduation this summer. I write poems. Most of them are in my journal and a few are on Lit. I also write Fantasy and romance.

Ohhhh! A fellow journal writer!
I think journal-writing is becoming a bigger trend than it used to be with the onset of blogs and blogging. Voyeur that I am, I enjoy a good peak into someone's personal life --and they're willing to share it by publishing it on the web!

I aspire to write Fantasy, Young Adult, Romance, and Non-fiction Metaphysical, and mainsteam fiction along with a variety of magazine work.
So far, I've written stuff for those cats but nothing really finished or published. (I have finished and submitted a few short peices, but with no luck so far). I used to write a newsletter for Burger King (just my store)- that was the best (and only good) part of the job.

I noticed that as well. I started to keep a journal to practice writing in English and seeing if I could express myself as well as I'd like to. My very first entries make me laugh.
Being a voyeur is fun. My best friend constantly tries to get a peek into my journal.

I've tried blogging where my blog was made "public," but frankly couldn't get into it. To me, a journal is a private place to let it all out. The thought of just anyone reading my thoughts -or worse, the people close to me- never caught on.
I do have a blog I keep private, but even then, it's not precisely the same as my comfortable, leather-bound tome that goes with me everywhere and can be accessed without the hum of a laptop or pc. I'm not sure why I keep both; sometimes it's easier to get thoughts out quickly, and I can type much quicker than I can write.
I am amazed at how some people can keep their blogs interesting, and some are downright yawners. It's an excellent tool to keep oneself writing on a regular bases, though!

I use my LiveJournal to work on my novel I'm drafting. instead of editing while I'm drafting, I just add edit notes to my LiveJournal and a couple of my friends who are reading it add their comments and feedback, ideas, questions, etc. I was never into the idea - I mean who wants to read what I had for dinner and my random whining - but I've actually liked it so far. It's been a good tool... especially when I have people keeping up and anxiously waiting for the next installment
That keeps me motivated.

My journals are so personal. I don't think I can make it open to public. Besides I doubt that anyone would want to read mine, except for my best friend.
Yes, that was a great idea. Most people can't tell I'm not a native English speaker now and I've even written for the school paper. I just love to write.

your English is excellent ... well done! My husband (native Dutch) speaks and writes English so well, people think he is native. I know it can be done, and think it's fabulous when talented people like yourself accomplish it.
What is your native tongue, may I ask? (I've been away too long, lol... can't keep up with everyone!)

I write poetry and childrens stories. I love how I can let my imaginations run completely amoc when I write for kids, yet they are very stern critiques, and they demand quality. I also write historical romance and fantacy. Or historical fantacy romance, lol. If you're going to write about medieval times, you almost have to include a dragon, or at least a witch, lol.

McKenna said:Historical romance fan/writer here, too!
Two things:
How do you get an AV when you only have 40 posts, and
Do you write any Viking historical romance?
Hm, good question, i don't remember how i did it, lol. Must have tickled someone the right way, lol.
As for Viking historical romance, yes i have two stories that match that description laying on ice. They have a lot of potential too, so I'll definately finish them some day. And i'm writing what is rapidly becoming a novel which includes a modern day heathen, a druid and a hulder (mythological creature with a tail, see avatar) who will be doing some time travel and will among other things visit the viking era. Did i mention how i love to let my imagination run wild?
Hugs!!!
