To anyone who has heard my bold talk of writing 3,000 words every week, I must apologize to you and to myself for not delivering on that promise. It psyched me out substantially, and knowing I'd never meet that lofty expectation each week caused me to write even less. So, after some careful consideration I have decided to no longer hold myself to an unrealistic standard, and merely commit to put forward a bit of my writing every once in awhile. It's going to be a little bit rough and a little bit strange. It might be prose or poetry. It will alternate madly between self-reflection and character study, but ultimately I'm just going to use this blog as a way of putting together all the works I feel are worth getting some eyes on them.
I'm going to shoot for at least 300 words every week. I know my school schedule is already chock-full of writing assignments, so I won't promise anything too ridiculous. I'll be shooting for more, perhaps in the form of more postings throughout the week with little ideas and snippets of thought, and I won't get too hung up about it if for some reason one week I can't deliver on that 300 words. I know it's not much (not even half a page) but we all have to start somewhere, and "humble" is nothing if not a good starting point.
So, expect less radio silence from AM11AM, and enjoy what you can from whatever I can offer you.
Cheers,
Henracious
