Back at it Again

 Hello, it's been a long time, again. Here I am back at it. What is it? Writing of any kind, I do miss it and have been so caught up in my own head and I really just need an outlet. Now if it comes to something that would be a bonus, but for now I am just going to write for me. If you have wandered onto my blog and are reading this, thank you for your time. Feel free to leave a comment or message me, I always appreciate the constructive dialogue. 

Now I am staring at my first paragraph and have some serious writer's block. When I was at college one of the tips suggested to us in one of my writing courses was just to start writing, it did not have to have a goal or idea in mind, just ramble your thoughts onto the paper like I am doing now. It is a start and if you don't get an idea after a bit that is okay, the point is just to write every day consistently. It helps to set a goal for how long or for x amount of words. Currently, I have set my goal of 750 words a day. Today is the first day for that goal. 

Another tip or really it was more of a daily assignment was to write at least one paragraph of daily noticing's, meaning to write something down that you noticed that day. It could be anything, from maybe how the coffee smells brewing as you try to wake up in the morning, or how the sun catches all the little dust motes as it shines through the window. Well, I am sure you get the idea.  What was always fun about the daily noticings was not what I would write but reading what my fellow classmates would write. I mean we all went to the same college and lived in the same city, it was interesting to see how different the noticings were and yet the same.

Last week I started another blog strictly for bible study. That will be new and different for me and hopefully will help me stay on track with my bible study and writing at the same time. The goal for that one is to have something each week, ideally at the same time, but as long as I get 1x a week, that will be good. If you are interested in joining me on my bible journey the name and link of that blog are:

I think I have a start on two realistic goals to get back into writing. My writing will be rambling at first until I figure out what I will write about, or really until I find my niche. I have copied and pasted this post into Word so I can get a word count and I am close to 450, I will have to add this last bit into the word count to know for sure. As my goal is 750, I don't think that has to be all done in one swoop, I still have this week's bible study to write up. Anyhoo, until next time, I may or may not ramble on this blog daily, or perhaps just weekly to keep updated. I have yet to decide. 

Take Care and God Bless,

Ryan
