I need to write 500 words a day. This needs to take place everyday no matter the cost. Whether I am talking about how the day went, how I’m feeling that day, writing about video games or anything I’m writing about. I need to be practicing the show don’t tell aspect of writing. I need to be practicing writing everyday no matter what. I need to clean up my work space some at least a little bit today. It doesn’t need to be made spotless, it is something that I need to work on though.
Once I am comfortable writing 500 words a day I can work that up to 600. That way it doesn’t feel like I’m pushing myself too hard. I am already at a little over 100 words. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and one of the things I’ve been reading about is procrastination and motivation. Some of the things I’ve read implied that I just can’t be waiting for motivation. If there is a task that needs to be done I need to just start it, then everything will just come along.
I’ve finished reading Star Wars Into the Void for the second time. It continues to be a book that I really like. I might just read it all over again for the third time. I think I’ll just go ahead and start that since I like the book enough to read again. I’d like to use these musings and typing as a platform for starting my blog posts.
I have always been interested in blogging. Both for the creative aspect and the potential for financial benefit once my voice is found. I have continued to read about blogging, always reading about it, never actually putting it into consistent practice. I’ve noticed that I think too much about things in practice as opposed to putting that practice into action.
I’ve recently got myself a new place, renting a room. It sure beats sleeping out of vehicle which I did end up doing for a little too long. Even my roommate slept out of his vehicle for a period of time, not as long as I did. I ended sleeping out of my vehicle for a couple years. One of my friends thought that I was going to go mad doing that for as long as a I did. Blogging seems like it can also be an outlet for thinking and clearing the mind. Getting thoughts out of the mind and somewhere solid, where they can be reviewed and clarified.
Blogging has been around for some time I remember when I was in high school one of my friends talked a lot about her blog. Now this was a long time ago now that I was in highs school. I do remember that she posted on a fairly regular basis. The concept of the blog was weird in those days. But I guess the early days of digital platforms always seem a little weird, because those early platforms especially on the internet were still gaining acceptance. That’s it just like that I have 500 words.
