Back from the New Year

Ok, so I intended to get on here to, you know, write. Put up some little snippets of things I'm writing, or exercises to inspire creativity or even exercises for the writing craft itself, but then December happened at work, and you know what that means? Well, I'll give you a clue, I work in a retail warehouse, and Christmas was looming. Yep, you guessed it, I was busy busy busy with work, working weekends, getting home and being exhausted. Sooo, nothing got written.

I even, a few weeks ago, wrote down a blog post to put up when I had some time. That worked well didn't it?

Well, now that it's the New Year and even though I'm a week late for resolutions (which I never keep if I make them anyway, so I'm not bothering to do that), I'm going to at least try to post a little regularly.

So my goal (threw last years goals out the window. I didn't do any of them), is to start back at Square 1 with everything. I'm going to act as though I didn't know how to write (obligatory comments from the sarcastic group out there), and work through exercises to re-teach myself how to, building from the foundation on up.

I will be asking for all your help in this too. with my exercises, I will at times need suggestions on a topic for the particular exercise, as well as feedback on each posting of an exercise. I am really putting myself out there for heavy criticism, but if I can't take it, then I'm looking in the wrong place for a career.

So, tomorrow will come the first post in 'the exercise series' of what I will be asking for to do the first exercise. The reason I'm waiting until tomorrow, is so some of you have time to read this over, and that post will be shorter than this, and I'm sure many of you stopped reading way up at paragraph 3, so I want actual responses. I know how skimming works. :)

look for it tomorrow!
