New Year's Resolution - Let's hope it doesn't get pixel-y...

Here's finally something about those New Year's goals that I think I mentioned a while back.....

Let's try looking at just one for now. Last night, actually, as I was blogging, blogging, blogging, it occurred to me that this could be a good practice to undertake more intentionally. I figure I'll try to write a little something everyday - if that proves to be too unrealistic, then I'll cut back to once a week or so.

Why would I make regular blogging a goal of mine? Well, I think that just getting into the habit of writing will be good for me... I remember a creative writing class I took in high school - the teacher prescribed an exercise we all had to do: write. Write anything, write nonsense, write something. Just sit down and write for a set amount of time, like 5-10 minutes or so; don't let your pen stop moving. And since I frequently get myself into fixes by procrastinating from doing assignments because they are JUST SO PAINFUL TO WRITE, engaging in a practice that promotes ease of writing is a simple "Heck yes!"

So that's it for today! Gonna be writing more. That's goal one. For now.
