In honors of tomorrow being April 1 and due to my desire to get my ass writing again, I've decided to use bad April Fool's Day humor to inform the interwebs that I am writing a blog post every day this April.
Why? Why would I do this to myself? Good question. *Abandons project...then slowly drags fingers back to keyboard*
There are a number of good reasons to set a goal like publishing a blog post everyday for a month. The biggest one being just how important practice is to building habits. I love writing because it helps me clear my head, be more precise with my words and its just plain fun. Despite all the tingling joy it can bring, I have not done a good job of making it a habit in my life. I think I think, work and do better in all areas of life when I do, so I am using this month to work on this skill.
Will this lead to embarrassment when I fail to blog? Will I look like an idiot it I make it through this month and then proceed to take half a year off? Yes and yes, but I can handle it. For now, I am just looking to each coming day in April as an opportunity to practice writing. When May comes, we'll see...
