In an effort to push myself to take time to write for at least 30 minutes a day, I created a separate blog through Tumblr. Everything I write about in my daily writing exercises will be published. Unfiltered. It’s not always going to be pretty and grammatically efficient, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s a blog for first drafts and fleeting thoughts. If something strikes me as particularly good, I may use it as inspiration for a post over here. I’ll take additional time to edit it and post a revised version. But this is a good way for me to create a separate blog dedicated entirely to one thing.

My goal is to make a post every single day and to spend at least 30 minutes doing so. I am aiming to cut down on my filtering, so I expect the word count to increase substantially as the exercise becomes ingrained. The hard part is setting aside a period each day where I won’t let any external distractions bother me. That’s the only way I’m going to succeed.

I don’t think I will be posting any creative content from the writing exercises to that site at this time.
