Baby Steps

I want to be a writer, whatever that means.  I haven't really written anything for years.  Someone more quotable than me said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, but I haven’t been in the mood to take any steps in recent years.



My biggest problem with this whole writing thing is that it takes so much darn EFFORT.  The words can only be expressed as fast as I can type, which isn't all that fast.  It is time consuming, requires thought and consideration.  It is tedious.  My preference for most tedious tasks is to outsource them.  I can outsource most of the tedium I have in my life for $10-15 an hour, a sum I can readily afford at the moment.  But the writing, no one can do that for me.  So today I’ll take a first step.  A tiny, 150 word step.  Hooray me.
