Taking the plunge

I'm finally doing it; I'm writing a blog. I've been thinking about doing this for several months now, which seems quite appropriate considering why I've decided to start a blog. The reason I want to write a blog? It all comes down to my lack of motivation for writing. So you can see, since it has taken me months to start this up, I have some room for improvement.

My biggest goal with this blog is to practice. For more 'hands-on' activities, such as knitting, cooking or sports, it's quite apparent that practice makes perfect. I'm not striving for perfection, but a more efficient writing process. I'm hoping this will come in handy over the next eight months while I write my PhD thesis.

I had thought I might write in a journal for practice but, my brother wisely pointed out that I may need a deadline or external motivation. I suspect he's right, so please bear with me.

I'll be writing again soon.
