I blog, though I tend to try to keep that on a more "professional" level. Stuff I'd want a future employer or potential customer to see. That can be hard to write, though, because it often requires being in a certain mood to write or edit, and sometimes it can be a while before I feel in a "professional enough" mood. I find it also helps to keep a journal, just for me. Start by recapping what's happened since the last time you wrote, or big events or thoughts on your mind. I often find that I start writing in my journal without any idea what to write about, and I end up having written a thousand words by the time I'm done, most of it without any pain at all. It's not polished in any way, but it's cathartic, and it's practice. Plus, going back and re-reading what I was thinking, feeling, and doing during critical moments of my life is often inspirational. Some things I handled far better than I remembered, others, well, let's just say I've grown more than I thought. =)
