Discipline

I almost forgot again tonight. That's twice in four days. I guess that's not too surprising as it is still new.

One of the main reasons I decided to do this every-day-in-August experiment is to try to instill some discipline. I figure that if I can get myself to write here every day, I can get myself to write other things as well and maybe, as a result, some of the ideas I have floating around in my head will actually make it onto paper, as it were. If I can establish a habit of writing, even just a little, every day then I believe I can continue it well past August. That is one of my hopes, anyway. Another is that I will actually start having more ideas again. Writing is something I have let slide for too long and now I find myself sometimes wondering if I have lost that particular talent. This month I aim to find out.

So please forgive the short entries as this grand experiment starts. As the days pass, I am sure they will get longer and more interesting. At least I hope they will. For now, it's four days and counting. Anything is an accomplishment at this point.
