The Initial Reasoning For Yet Another Blog...

I'm here to write. I'm going to be utilizing this blog as a means of inspirations and exercises in the creative writing process. This isn't all just for me, though. I would like to invite other writers to do the same and draw upon our creative differences, ideas, and basically support each other through the hard times that writing can place us.

Writing, when I do it, is such a great thing for me. My problem lies in the horrible fact that I'm a procrastination expert. I'm also quite lazy. So, there is my other motive for creating this blog.

I'm starting this blog by myself, but I hope that some others out there will participate as well!

Once I get some people showing up I'd like to start a writing exercise every week. It will be different each week and there will be other options as well.

One idea that I am stealing for an exercise: Throw out a word, any word. Use that word as a basis for a freewrite. Just think of something, anything, and write about it. Don't think too hard, though. This isn't for publishing or getting your name out there. That's something we all have to do on our own. What I want to do with these exercises is fine-tune the art of writing. Practice makes perfect and I know this now more than ever before.

So if I'm alone in this, such is life. If I'm not, though? STRENGTH IN NUMBERS, PEOPLE!

Hope to see some of you soon. Happy writing!
