The First Million Words

When learning to write, you should be ready to throw away your first million words. Welcome to my writing trash can.

The writing habit

A new year. New resolutions. New attempts at getting that writing habit going again.

The main thing that seems to be holding me back is the overwhelming sense of this project (for lack of a better term.) The prospect of having to post every day seems like too much to manage, especially after my typical long PITA commute home every day. And to some degree I'm the kind of person that says (to myself, in my head) "Self, if you're not going to do it 100%, don't do it at all." Not that all the posts need to be super compelling, or even interesting, but just be there and be something besides "Another post today because I have to."

Via Mark Lee's blog, I found a link to Creativity for Life. I haven't really had a chance to check it out yet, but maybe that site will be some help in sparking my creativity.

Stick it out with me. Comment and help motivate me.
