Experiment

I need to practice. I'm a crappy writer. I know that. But I want to get better. I want people to wonder what I've written today, and look forward to what I might write tomorrow. I want to develop a habit. I want it to seem easier. And I want to not care if anyone else cares. I know no one is reading this, and for some reason it bothers me. It is proof that no one is really interested in what I have to say. So I have to get better. Does practice make perfect? I don't know. It seems like I've practiced lots of things, but they never seem to get better. They just replay out the same as before. Argh. (If anyone has any helpful ideas, let me know)

Anyway, I'm trying to take an active step towards becoming a better writer. I'm trying this novel writing month thing to see how far I can get. The object is to write 50k words in 30 days. It sounds like a lot, but it's really only about 100 pages, which is more of a novella. But that's ok. I don't even know if I'll be able to do it. It sounds hard. But they say that nothing easy is worth doing. So I'm going to try. I'd like to bury myself in something that matters, something that no one can stop me from doing.

I'm going to try to post a link here to my novel attempt, so any support would be welcome. But don't worry too much. I know the one person reading this probably stumbled upon it by clicking the "next blog" button, so it's ok if you don't feel like reading more. I won't be offended. I just wanted to experiment a litle.

Wish me luck.
