I blog daily. It isn’t anything consequential or influential; it’s actually rather like a diary I happen to post online where some people can read it. But at least I am exercising my writing skills daily in posting those. Not that I use proper grammar.
What I really added this goal for was /fiction/ writing. I very much desire to have some fiction I’ve written published, but I am far too scared. I don’t write very much. I think I feel like I have to write well every time I bother to write at all, a product of my procrastination (in high school, I’d wait until the night before - or closer - until I wrote my essays, so they necessarily had to be as close to perfect as possible the first time through).
I need to fix this. I want to apply for a fiction class for the spring semester at my new school, and I need to submit 15 pages of my own fiction. My old computer crashed, so I can’t just lay back on things I’ve already written—I have to write new. In order to get the writings together and polished prior to the application deadline, I need to write daily for the next week or two. I can and will do this. Really!
