Welcome to The First Million Words
Lately, I've often thought about what it takes to become a writer. I've read many things about it, and they basically all say the same thing - that for one to become a writer, one must write. Several articles even mentioned that you should consider your first million words as written to be thrown away. Write them and get them out of the way. Then you can start to have some hope that what you are writing might be meaningful to someone, somewhere.
On that note, this blog will be my first million words. Let's hope it's occasionally tolerable.

Good luck to you. My teacher says something similar about drawing...you have to hurry up and make your first 1000 mistakes so you can get on to making your next 1000 mistakes. Looks like we both have a way to go :)
Thanks for the comment.
I think you're right. Drawing and writing are both artistic, and the only way to get better is to practice. Keep checking in on me, and I'll keep checking in on you.
Will do :)
