I Accept

I love to write.  Sometimes I go to bed writing blog posts in my mind.  By the time I get up in the morning I've forgotten what I "wrote"  and have to try to reconstruct those delightful phrases and sparkling paragraphs.  I rarely can.

For a long time I thought I was a reasonably good writer.  In an effort to become a better writer I began reading more about writing.  It didn't take long to realize I have a long way to go before I will be a good writer.  It takes practice and discipline to become a good writer.  And just at the moment I lack discipline.

So I accept the Family History Writing Challenge as posted at The Armchair Genealogist.  This challenge will be good for me.  I can write at least 250 words every single day in February.  That's one typewritten page.  Easy, right?  (So why haven't I been doing it?)

This is the first year I've participated but I understand that we will receive ideas, suggestions, and encouragement along the way.  It's open to anyone who wants to write.  Maybe you'd like to accept the challenge and join us?
