You Must Start Somewhere

As with anything that is worth doing there has to be a beginning point and this is mine. I have forever said I should write a book because so much has happened to me in my life, of course like so many others, talking is a lot easier than doing and here are always reasons to do something else. Therefore, I will try the method of the blog and hopefully since I know others, with little to do may read it, it should inspire me to follow through.
This is sort of a different version of what I had started on a website for my school but since it is unrelated to that I can be more candid and have a lot less censoring of myself. No idea if that will really make a difference to what I write anyway but it is nice to have the freedom. While I am at this I think I may also start the process of meditation, I have the tapes all I need to do is take the time. I guess that means I will be as surprised by anything that appears here as anyone else. Naturally, since I normally write for a living this will be more stream of consciousness than I can ever get away with so I have no idea what direction my ramblings might take.
I got the idea to do this from a friend who is currently going through some meditation exercises and the whole idea of keeping track of what he is doing has helped to keep him on track. I suppose that means I will have to set some kind of real goal for myself as well so I can at least show myself some progress.
Well I think I will try to talk to this thing at least once a day and we'll see what happens.
