I'm really going to do this. Really.
My New Year's Resolution for all to see: blog every day, right here. I won't promise anything inspiring, original or even interesting. This is a challenge, an experiment, that I willingly put myself up to for this year, 2011. In the words of Yoda, "Try not. Do or do not, there is no 'try'."
Ground rules for myself:
1. Write every day this year, unless I am away and have no Internet access.
2. Write at least three sentences per entry.
3. Post one movie and book review a month.
4. Once posted, I cannot, WILL not, go back and edit a post for spelling, grammar, content, etc.
