A writing lab for The Textbox, a blog on effective writing in a world of short attention spans, limited character counts and information overstimulation.

If you are following me @scottzeilenga you can probably unfollow me here.


Follow @scottzeilenga for tweets on writing, interior & graphic design, music, photography, and the idea-virus that can change everything


Please follow me @scottzeilenga I will be updating there instead. I will still be tweeting on writing, but also all things creative.


If you are following me as TextboxLab, please switch over to @scottzeilenga because I am going to write mainly there now.


One of my goals this year is to complete 5 books. 1 dead-tree book, 2 ebooks, and 2 photography books.


Ah, so this is what 2009 feels like. hmmm... spongier than I imagined.


Sorry about not posting today on http://thetextbox.net. I had to meet a friend then got the book idea & wanted to work on the outline of it.


Hmmm... earlier today I got a great idea for a book. 2009 may be a great year for my first published writing.

What are your favorite writing books? I got a gift card for Brns&Nbl and want to pick up something worthwhile. Got any suggestions?


How is it that I had the whole morning to sit down and blog, and yet it is now 20 minutes until work and I haven't written a word? Grrr...

Me, I usually write the whole thought out, let it go over the count and then go back and carefully chop and edit until everything fits.


Ok, 140 characters. Do you abbreviate words to fit or do you rewrite your sentence to fit? How do you usually appease the character count?


still in the process of creating the next Textbox Lab here : http://textboxlab.ning.com/ but join if you want to be a part of that lab too.


RT @CoryOBrien -Whenever I comment on a blog, I always have to fight the urge to start w/ something mundane like "Great post!" or "I agree."

RT-Twitter prose @kristenking: Top shelf of pantry just collapsed, taking all other shelves with it. Doors flew open, dry goods everywhere.


It is kind of sad that I have more Twitter followers than daily traffic on The Textbox blog. Ok, everyone go to http://www.thetextbox.net


I will post about the contest on the blog in a day or two. I first have to organize the logistics in my head and pull together some prizes.
