Recently finished reading a biography of Ray Bradbury. Ray was quite the prolific writer and he attributed this to the fact that he wrote every day. Writing, like many artistic endeavors requires inspiration, but it is also an acquired skill. I'm jealous of those who can just sit down and write a story, or can simply document their day; it's never come that easy for me.

I enjoy writing and I enjoy the process, but it also causes much frustration for me. Education is not what I have a lot of and English wasn't one of my better subjects when I did attend school. As I look back on this it makes me wonder because I've always enjoyed being creative. It could be that I have high standards in this area and a lot of what comes from my word processor isn't that good and I know it, but maybe that's not the point. Maybe, I'm to just write regardless of those standards so that the skills needed to write well will be acquired in time.

So, this is my plan; I will be writing every day. I will either write here, or on another blog depending on the subject matter. So here's to writing and hears to reading.
