I think the best piece of advice from Boice during this reading was to form a writing group. I have done this in the past with great success. We met monthly for several years and it forced me to write more regularly. My writing group wasn't focused on academic writing- which would have a different feel to it. A weekly writing group would have increased intensity and production.
My writing group met on Friday nights over a bottle of wine. We would read each others' work a variety of writing from poetry, to memoirs, to fiction. We'd usually stay up late having fun. Life got too busy to continue with the group- but I have great memories of the time we spent together.
