Twenty-six Days, Twenty-six Entries

I started this blog partly in an effort to cure my writer's block, or whatever it is that keeps me from writing. I figure you have to start somewhere. Just as Athens wasn't built in a day (I know, I know...Rome took time as well) and this global economic crisis didn't sneak up on us over a weekend, so too writers don't just wake up with Pulitzer prizes in their possession and best selling books in their names. I realized a little while back that with the completely comfortable, convenient, and flexible medium of the weblog, I had little excuse to not start writing. Something. Anything. For now, I consider this "column" writing practice. I have no way of knowing if I will continue to write in the future or if I will have anything to show later in life for making a habit of organizing my thoughts on paper, but here goes.

I've decided to write a blogathon during the month of April. Instead of running twenty-six miles, I intend to write twenty-six blog entries in an equal number of days starting April 1st.
