Get set, go?

I have put this off for too long.

All my life, the one thing I wanted to be is a writer. I've heard the advice given by writers - write and you're a writer. Don't worry about being published because that shouldn't validate you. Make sure you do some writing every day.

And for over ten years. I've made excuses: I don't have time. I'm not good enough yet. I need to plan my backstory before I can work on the front story (ahhhhh wit >.>)

I have at least managed to write every day (to do lists count, right?), but I don't feel my journals are enough to increase my skill. They are lazy, full of slang, and sound how I talk. Which can be hilarious and cringe-worthy to read over, but only for myself. I don't think they'd go so well being read by others. Being good enough is as much about practice as it is believing in yourself - to a certain extent. And as for planning - well, surely I can do both planning and writing simultaneously? More importantly, isn't that what editing is for? Just write, damnit!

So it's time for some change. Ten minutes a day will be put aside to write a single sentence on my novel. It doesn't sound like much, but I've struggled with this before. What will I do differently this year?
... I honestly don't know. But I think that's why I'm starting this. I'm making myself accountable because I'm putting this blog out there. So that you (whoever you are), can know what I'm doing and I can feel more responsible. Mebe....it's at least worth a shot!

So I'll update this once a fortnight. Maybe more, but no promises.

Thanks for tuning in :)
