Hi

I think this will be a fun little exercise in no-pressure writing. I am not a confident writer. Currently, it takes me half an hour to compose a three line email. Same with journals. And I don't even want to talk about academic stuff. Writing's just so much pressure--putting thoughts into a bunch of squiggly lines and knowing that people can look at them. I stress about correct grammar and good spelling, then I fuss over it because the whole thing sounds too formal and stuffy. So this should be a fun way to keep track of the trouble I'm getting into (no, not the trouble into which I'm getting), things that seem important and maybe some pictures if I remember to have my camera charged. Please try not to worry too much about dangling participles and run-on sentences and I'll try my best not to worry either, okay?

PS- This still took 42 minutes to write. It's a start though, no?
