First, thanks for reading! I want to wish everyone who reads this blog a Happy New Year 2012! Honestly, I’m a little more than happy to personally usher out 2011 with a loving passive-aggressive shove out the door, and I am pretty confident that 2012 will be a better year.
It is going to be a great year with more considerable changes…and that’s a good thing! I’m looking forward to it.
As a starter, on this blog, I’m going to challenge my creative writing skills a bit with a 365-day posting year. Since my dream is to one day write and self-publish a hefty-selling book — lofty, I know — I need the daily writing exercise. Each day, I’m going to offer a succinct entry of a paragraph or two of creative writing. It will be fictitious. It may be in the form of a conversation, an inner thought, or a simple observation. It might be humorous or serious, light or dark, surreal or realistic, autobiographically based or in no way related to my real life.
When I can, I will offer original photography. My camera is definitely not up to par with most bloggers’ gear, but I’ll give it a shot. That was a pun, by the way.
I know there are those of you that can do better, and I hope my daily writing exercises will make you realize that because blog readers are often good writers themselves.
So hello, 2012! Nice to meet you. I am determined we will part as friends next year, unlike 2011. You will like me. And challenge(s) accepted. You’re going to present me with challenges no matter how comfortable I try to get, so I might as well accept them with open arms and put myself out there.
Post #1 soon to follow!
