Reading about writing does not do as much for writing as writing does for itself. By this I mean simply that in order for one to get better at writing one must write. You can read as many books as you like about writing and what the best way to go about it is. However, I am a firm believer in doing for I believe that in doing we receive the greatest knowledge. In honor of this sentiment, I have declared Thursday to be writing day. Every Thursday I will take time to write at least one thing, hopefully that will mean added more to this here blog thingy. Each morning, upon arising, I will write what Julia Cameron cleverly calls "morning pages" as a way of getting all the clutter out so that by the time I reach my blog there will be nothing but the good stuff. I don't want to impose too many rules because I want this to be a free and open experience. Once you start adding too many rules then you start worrying about whether you doing it right or enough or whatever. If you have to wonder if you are doing it right then you probably are not since doing it right means you dont care if you are doing it right. I will leave you with that thought. Happy writing!
