I am so embarrassed that this has not progressed any further...
The thing is, I can come up with all the excuses in the world, but the truth of the matter is slackness. I come home from a long day at work and the last thing I want to do is turn on my computer and stare at yet another monitor...
It's not even that I do anything more productive, writing for these blogs is probably the most productive thing I can do each night at home....
I know I won't reach the 750 word goal tonight simply because I have had a minor accident in the kitchen playing masterchef, missed the tomato and cut my finger instead and now it is incredibly difficult to type!
I will aim to do at least one post a week. One creative post. Goal: 1 creative piece each week. Must be min. 750 words.
ok, I let my finger rest now.

A wordy way to start the day
There was an article in the MX a couple of weeks ago (MX, 18 March 2010) with this title and its contents really piqued my interest.
According to this article, experts believe that writing out 750 words of your innermost thoughts each day will clear your mind and get ideas flowing. Well, -THAT- certainly was no revelation to me, I have always believed that getting my thoughts out into words helped me in ways I sometimes don't even know how to put into words. No matter how difficult or challenging a situation can become, or how exhilarating life can be at times, there is an outlet and anything that brims inside of me waiting to be explored has a place to go.
Words have been a way for me to calm and ease myself back to reality over the last few years, and I wish I had discovered this outlet many years back.
So that's where this 750 Project stems from. Even though the creator of the 750 Words site clearly tells us that it is not about blogging... I just need an outlet even though I only write for myself.
I won't promise that I will get 750 words out every single day, I probably won't get anywhere near 750 words at first and I won't promise any levels of quality in the writing because sometimes it's just not possible and by my own admission, I am but a terrible writer.... but I won't give up trying. BTW, this intro post doesn't count ;P
