<p>Since I do much of my writing on the weekends, I&#8217;ve been thinking up ways to make the time most productive and pleasurable. So, participating in this just seems like good fun and useful too: It&#8217;s a group writing project over at Joanna Young&#8217;s blog, <a href="http://www.confidentwriting.com">Confident Writing</a>. This one is about your ideal writing weekend.</p>
<p>I first saw it some time ago but I ran out of time. A couple of weeks ago, Joanna shared some of her writing weekend essentials and the rules, and she extended the project&#8217;s deadline to September 1, 2008. I thought I would pass it along.</p>
<p>In March this year, I participated in Joanna&#8217;s <a href="http://blogaboutwriting.com/2008/03/4-x-4-sources-of-writing-inspiration-group-writing-project/">4&#215;4 sources of writing inspiration project</a>, and that was fun and thought-provoking. The results post on April 3rd was an excellent resource. These projects offer keen insights and novel perspectives.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I forgot to mention that this is actually a <strong>competitive</strong> group writing project. You can visit the link above or go directly to the Absorbing Writing website to get the details.</p>
<p><strong>10.24.2008 </strong>My entry for the project, <a href="http://blogaboutwriting.com/2008/08/my-ideal-writing-weekend/">my ideal writing weekend</a> has actually won second prize.</p>
<p><strong>10.30.2008 RESULTS:</strong> The results of this project are in! For more details, <a href="http://blogaboutwriting.com/2008/10/results-my-ideal-writing-weekend/">visit this post</a> to see where it&#8217;s posted.</p>
