As I had forgotten that I have a blog, and thankfully, every other person on the planet (even the bots, Russian and otherwise) have forgotten as well, I have a place to publish my scant offerings of words where no one will EVER see them.  Win-Win, I tell you!  I get the satisfaction of putting my work out into the universe without any of the repercussions of other human beings ever seeing them.  Yay me! 

I'm starting a little experiment this month and I'll share it here.  I am trying to write, unfettered, for five minutes every morning, a la Anne Lamott's "shitty first draft".  The only exception is that these are not really first drafts, per se.  There will never be second drafts.  I'm using a book of writing prompts designed for junior high or high school students.  Right on target for where I'm at in my writing these days.  Probably a stretch. 

Nevertheless, by pressing "publish", I'm committing to doing this.  Even if no one ever sees.  I'm like that tree that falls in the forest without anyone around to hear.
