First post, a journey begins....

I am trying to establish the habit of blogging every day. Writing is a great way to learn and to become a better thinker. Over the years I have created so many blogs, only to gradually lose interest and stop posting. This time I am going to be more consistent and committed. I am vowing now to make an effort to update content daily. Initially my goals will be modest. For the next seven days I'd like to add 200-300 words a day. If I can do that, I will consider that a success, albeit a modest one. What are my other goals for doing this?
-to help me become more thoughtful
-to become a better writer
-to develop a more nuanced position on a variety of issues


Some "rules" that I think will help me get my ideas out
-Just write. Don't stop to edit your writing or try to craft the perfect sentence.
-throughout the day jot down topics that will make for interesting posts
-Revisit posts periodically. Do I still feel, believe what I wrote?
-allow myself to now know where I am going with a post. Don't feel like you have to know what you are going to say before you say it.
