Planning for Aliens

I can’t write. Seriously. I’m not happy with where my writing skills are at the moment. I came to this conclusion some time in December and so I committed to blogging at least once per week to improve the situation. Tonight I started writing a post about my motivations as an entrepreneur, and then I stopped writing it because it was crap. I don’t mind writing crap, I have to start somewhere, the problem is I don’t know why it’s crap. Yarg.

I need a new strategy. First, I think some books on writing are in order. I’m also going to pick a writing format, you know, like I’m only going to write sonnets. I probably won’t write sonnets, but I think giving myself some constraints is bound to help. I’m also canceling cable. Watching TV is not conducive to writing, or anything else other than watching TV for that matter.

Also, once per week is too ambitious. I’m going to knock it down a notch to twice per month and I’ll ratchet it up when my writing gets better.
