A Horrible Habit

So, I have a horrible habit of not finishing my writing projects after I start them. I have 10 journals that all end after about three weeks of entries, I have 2 "novels" with decent outlines and awesome first chapters, and my Celtx folder is full really great unfinished scripts.

I started this blog last year as part of a class assignment but also for personal use. My intention was to write all of the wonderful commentary to my life and it was going to be witty and intelligent. However, after the class ended, so did my blogging.

This next year is going to be absolutely insane for me. I'm Choir President, Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, I'm planning my wedding, it's my senior year of college, and I need to find a decent job post-graduation.

Ugh. Every time I list of my responsibilities for the next year, I want to bang my head against the table, but since that is destructive and pointless, I am deciding to commit to writing on this blog at least once a week during the next school year. I may go on after a year, but for now, I'll just commit to my last year of college. We don't want to get too crazy, now do we?

I'm not particularly counting on many people reading this, but it's more of an exercise for myself anyways. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually reach my year goal and finish my award-winning novel as well.
