My Experiment

I'm currently taking a creative writing class. As an accountant, my days are entirely number driven. I decided I needed a creative outlet for my dramatic side. My hope is that it will allow me to become a better writer, not just for myself, but for whatever purpose God mave have for me. Since my employer pays for classes, I figured I'd take it for fun. Class just started this week, and we'll be doing poetry first. I haven't written poetry in years.

I like to blame my lack of writing on being busy. In all actuality, it's a lack of scheduling on my part. So, in the likes of Julie & Julia, I've decided to start an experiment. I'm going to write for at least fifteen minutes, five times a week. Why not every day? Well, I have to allow myself some time off for days when we've got family stuff going on or I just don't feel good.

Will everything I write be brilliant? Of course not. Will it improve as I continue to write? I certainly hope so. That was kind of the point of this blog to begin with: giving me a way to write about my daily endeavor to live as God wants me to live. Now we'll see if I can't put my thoughts on life in general down in a more effective, better written way.

Here's hoping!
