A New Year

A couple years ago, I attempted to write for 365 days in a row. For the first time, I did it by writing a journal entry everyday. It worked. I felt great. It allowed me to vent, even if the venting was not appropriate. Nobody read it. Yet, I think it made me a better writer. It made me feel like a better person.

When the year ended, I decided to try it with story writing. Some people actually read that one. It didn't turn out as well. I made it a little over a month and a half before crashing and burning. I could blame it on school; I could blame it on poor writing. In the end, it was simply falling short of my goals.

So, here I am. It has been a few years, but I'm frustrated that I do not write as much as I should. I found myself falling into that never ending abyss that is known at reddit, and there I found a section for writing prompts. For the New Year, the subreddit /r/WritingPrompts has issued the challenge of writing 200 words a day. Simple, yeah? Well, the first problem is that I am a bit behind. The second problem is getting myself to keep with it.

So, uh, HERE WE GO.
