300 a day.

So, I just started reading a few books on writing. With the tanking economy and my client base dwindling to nothing, I decided to brush off the old English degree and see what my rusty cogs are capable of churning out. The hopes is that it will make a dime or two and I can go back to playing video games in peace. (that screen shot is for you, ben...)

Since I have this screaming good PC and a lousy GNP to blame not being able to make mortgage payments on, I figure I am good for at least 10 hours a day of Starcraft, MYST, Rampart or Zelda. Heck, I'll even do a little Breakout if the mood hits...
This will, in the long run, save me a lot of money. Considering how much bling I crammed into the X-Men game on my Junior Senior trip just to see nightcrawler dance on top of the Juggernaut before running out of cash and having to start the whole thing over. If my parents knew about that, they might not have paid for me to spend the entire last quarter of my senior year of college playing Starcraft. (longest stint: 26 hours straight. win? uh, no... but man was it FUN!)

ok. now that you know how unfathomably lame i am, I might as well stop right here. however, I should really finish my story first.

well, yes, as a matter of fact there was a point to this post... and don't seem so surprised!

writing book.
oh, right:
so in one of these books about writing it mentions making a quota for yourself to write each day. most other books say ten minutes or 3 hours or whatever. this book said to give yourself a certain number of words.
so. my goal is to post at least 300 words a day. I figure that i am verbose enough to fill that... if at all possible, they will also be coherent sentences, but i am not promising anything.
unless i have a huge amount of free time (economy scapegoat anyone?) i most likely will not be littering the prose with links, images, lists or recipes. (yes, I cook. sheesh! what do you think i am?!)
so, in the very probable chance that you will be thoroughly disappointed by this news I leave you with one last thing:

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start.
