About This Blog

Original Description of this blog.
This blog is a tool for my writing.  I started it on 4/11/09.
I knew I needed to write daily in order to improve and this blog held me responsible.  It helped push me into putting as many words down without immediately editing myself.  I needed to get past my own editing in order to come up with more words and more ideas in order to make the mistakes that needed to be made for me to learn.  I had to write a daily post to progress and improve. I wanted to learn and this was a tool for me to use. 
I hit 365 posts on 4/10/10 - exactly a year from the date I started.  It wasn't easy to write every day, but by the completion of that year it had become a discipline.
This blog?  Quite simply, it is my tool. It's my discipline. It is my words on a page.

The description I wrote above is what this blog started out to be on 4/11/09.  I've used this tool wisely and hit that "post a day" for more than two years in a row.  It truly has proven to be an excellent tool for me to use for my writing.  It wasn't an easy task but I somehow managed to do it. 
Now, I've come to a place where I think I need to take it a step further while taking a step back.  I don't need so much quantity.  I already write every day.  I have learned some valuable lessons about writing by what I have done.  But every bit of it doesn't need to be published.  Quality, I think, might be the next goal.
I'll never know until I try, will I?
And this blog?  It still is my tool, my discipline.  It's my words.
