Feeling bliss

We've got our keyboard situated differently on our desk and the screen too is at an odd angle. I have a series of cramps in my upper back... and still I write. I'm like the Michael Phelps of blogging-- haha. So, I believe that I've finished reading everything composed between December 18th and yesterday and have commented on a slew of things. Thank you for the hearty mix of drama, humor and revelation. There are many strong, vivid, entertaining and provocative writers in our midst. I do hope you are reading one another's work:)

So, the majority of you have selected something about yourself that you resolve to adjust or tweak. Super. Now, you need to make a plan. How will you accomplish your goal? How will you consciously work on this objective? It's worthless for me to say I want to lose weight if I continue to eat and live in the same manner as 2008, right? in today's blog, please include a short plan and/or rationale (depending on how much thought you've shared already on this goal) for your goal. Each day of class until the end of the term I would like you to comment on your progress and how things are going. For some of you, a daily note will be short and others of you may find that immediately you have things to say and report.

For all the goodness to this venture, it will surely not fill your writing time each day, so I'd like each of you to brainstorm a meaningful writing project for yourself. For example, I might select a book I've been dying to read and spend time each day reflecting on the new novel. Maybe, you'll read the newspaper online each morning and then spout off an editorial-like blog about the state of the world. Maybe you want to expand your memoir that you started last month. Possibly you want to write more short stories or a novel... at least, the start of one. Or, maybe you'd simply like me to start giving more traditional writing prompts each day. For me, I'm going to become a more devoted FOCUSED blogger and spend time blogging on my Quinn's Mom site. Maybe you want to start up a new blog that focuses on an issue or objective daily. Let me know your thoughts and ideas in a blog today.

Cheers!
