Now a blog!

That first post, called intro, I wrote on January 2nd, but I am creating this blog on February 9th. Today I decided to post my entries on a blog because some people were curious and it looks like I will be able to follow through on this cockamamie idea. Also, my wife has started a blog, and whatever she does, I do, because of our wedding vows. I'll be putting up about two entries a day starting from January 1st, I would put it all up at once but that might be overwhelming for my many readers. Plus I will edit a couple of them, just in case I said something I didn't expect would be made public. The point of this is to improve my writing, so any feedback is welcome, and don't worry, I am aware that many of them are stinko. Hopefully they will improve as the year goes on. Thanks for reading.

Intro

For Christmas this year I received a day-by-day calendar from my Mom. It is a Hangman Lift-a Flap calendar, and every day I get a new game of Hangman. I get to lift the flap of whatever letter I think is in the word – if it is in the word, it tells me what numbered space I fill in, if not, I get a thumbs down and fill in part of the man being hanged from the gallows. On January 2^nd, I have decided to use it as a tool to practice writing, by writing at least 500 words every day on the topic, provided by the answer to the hangman puzzle.
