Start of something new..

I have set a new goal for myself: to write a poem everyday for the next year. Ideally I'll spend anywhere from 10-30 minutes per poem. In the end, I will have 365 mini poems which I can later edit/make legible and possibly even submit for publication. There will be no excuse for not writing. Not only will this endeavor force me to become disciplined and committed, but it will also help me grow tremendously as a writer. There will be no putting off writing because of homework, stress etc. Even if the poem is a short, incoherent babble about what I ate for breakfast, forcing myself to write will be mandatory. I start tomorrow, February 12; a completely arbitrary date, but a good one nonetheless. One more note: I will NOT be editing my poems. The point of this exercise is to consistently write for a short span of time every day. I can always go back and edit the poems that have the most potential. Here's to the next year. Cheers!
