Welcome to the clouds

This is one of the thousands of blogs out there with a readership of one. Why even put this up here, in the clouds? It's like painting a picture and putting it on display in an abandoned building that no-one ever comes to. What's the point?

Two things. One is to start something, everyday. To write, and engage, and feel the tapping of my fingers on the keyboard. It is like a workout. Cardio. Low strain, but the benefits build up over time. This is practice - take pleasure in the work. Follow where it leads. The other is to finish something, everyday. A post must be posted. It doesn't languish in a file somewhere.

Perhaps someday there will be other goals. To write well? To record? To share with others? Eh, I'll hold off on such lofty goals for the moment, thank you. I've tried this sort of thing with such high expectations too many times before. Low expectations are so much more likely to be attempted, let alone met.
