Post-a-Day Experiment: Day One

So I've been noticing a pronounced lack of posts coming magically out of my fingers and appearing on this blog lately. (Like, for the past five months....whoops.) Since the Post Fairy has failed to grace me with a basket of glitter-covered content, I'm setting out on a new experiment:

A post per day. Every day, from now until January 1st.

Call it an "Old-Year's Resolution."

Over and over again, I've posted on this blog about the need to "just write," just get in there and make some words happen... but then I don't. So I'm going to. And this blog may take a turn for the weird and boring but that's ok, I'm not even going to link to this or anything. I'm doing this for me, because I genuinely miss blogging and the illusion it gives me of being listened to by a faceless, imaginary internet audience.

Hey, at least it's more creative than getting my attention fix by putting "Toaster" on a pic of my gourmet salad and waiting for the faves to roll in.

Over the next 44 days, I will be posting in a journal-y, observational style. There may or may not be much writing advice, but there will definitely be writing. I'm going to try out my own advice and see if it works: does writing every day improve your writing, or does it burn you out?

Hopefully, in 44 days, I'll have an answer.
