Next Thing’s First

There are three things I want to get done through this here blog.

1. Just write.  Every weekday at least, and the moment it strikes me.  This has always been the best part of keeping this site together, to have a tangible marker of my own committment to myself.  Getting through a week and seeing an unbroken chain of posts strung through the days is motivating, and it’s worth it to keep myself sharp and focused.

2. Plan my topics.  I want a clear sense of purpose every day, and to not resign myself to the ephemeral shamble of posts I’ve typically produced.  If this means splitting my output into multiple sites, so much the better.  If this means putting myself through the ringer of website design and CSS modifications so that I produce a more professional, multi-faceted rag, fantastic!

3. Move on.  I’m staking out temporary residence here, nothing more.  I want to raise the standard for my personal output every year I’m alive, as hyperbolic as that might appear.  In seriousness, it is easy and inspiring to have a concrete item of your own making be shared, measurable and thereby possible to improve.  Pushing myself to produce a better design and a better slate of writing is the next step I need to take for my own sake, and stabbing out at visibility could set me on some few new and enticing paths.

I mean like, pshaw.  Let’s do this.
