Day 1

I have decided that I am going to write every day for a year.  I know that this will be extremely difficult.  I am sure there will be days that I forget, days that I feel too busy, days where the world has me down and I may not feel like sharing my feelings here.  However, I am going to do my very best to do so.  I have always felt better when I write, and for some reason, I have fallen away from it.  I used to write everything!  Short stories, articles, song lyrics, poetry.... You name it, I wrote it.  It has been a while since I have written anything non-school related.  You see, I am a 23-year old medical student about to start my second year.  I am about to dive head first into studying for boards on top of all that studying I'll have to do for my classes.  However, I just finished reading a book called Point of Retreat.  In it, Will, the male antagonist, decides to write something every day for a year.  No matter what it is, it doesn't matter.  Some days he writes just the dates.  Other days it may only be a word or two, but it seems like an amazing exercise and I definitely want to try to do it.  Hopefully at the end of this blog, I will have Day 365 on my title line :)  Wish me luck in this venture, and I do hope anyone that bothers to read this enjoys!
