The purpose of this blog

So, like other attempts this blog is likely to end in failure. Sorry. I don't mean to be fatalistic about the whole thing, but I've tried to do this before, and for some reason it hasn't really ended well.

Why? It could be that I'm lazy,  I guess. It could be that I get distracted and busy with other things. It could be that I just don't have a whole lot to say. In any event, this is the third (?) time I've tried starting a blog, but we're going to give this thing a try anyhow.

The purpose of this blog is to force myself to write. I'm going to (hopefully) sit down at a set time each day, and write some words. They might not be great words. They might not be true words. They might be fictional or factual words. They will, however, be my words.

Once a day I'm going to log in and write a minimum of 250 words. Just to get into the habit. I've wanted to be a professional writer for a long time, and you cannot be a professional writer unless you write.

Simple, I know. Somehow however I don't think it is likely to be as easy as I'm making it out to be.

I've done this before on Wordpress, I know. I think I did it once before on a different platform, but I don't remember for the life of me which one. Now I'm going to try it on Blogger. Why? Mostly because I'm lazy. Also because I use a CR-48 a lot of the time, and I suspect it will play better with Blogger (which is owned by Google) than it will with other sites.

So, let's see how this goes, shall we?
