The Rodeo

30 Days of writing: Day 9

So I have now written something every day for a little over a week, and I’m beginning to see a flaw in my original plan. I’ll stick with it until the end of the month, simply because otherwise I would be doing exactly what I didn’t want to be doing, however I can also look at what doesn’t work and make plans to correct it.

The Good
- I am beginning to write ‘better’, in that my ideas are being formed into words that I can write, rather than just being a jumble of images in my head with no unifying theme or direction.
- I have managed to write something every day for nine days (so far), although a few of these entries have been rushed off before going to bed.
- Due to the very nature of blogging, I can write a review, and have the creator (well, one of them) of the game in question read it within twenty-four hours, and therefore know that I liked it (encouragement is always good), as well as being told some specific flaws that bugged one of the game’s players (me) personally.
- I can stick up pictures of my son so that anyone in the world can see him and smile. Isn’t he cute?

The Bad
- The main downside I have discovered to writing every day is that I have been only giving myself a day to write each piece. And most of each day is taken up with work and sleeping and my family, and so I don’t have a large amount of time for editing what I’ve written. In effect, everything you are reading here (including this) is a draft, written without a large amount of forethought or planning. Is this really bad? I’m not sure yet.
- Jen is getting a little frustrated that I am burying myself in the office for an hour or so every night while I write something. Maybe I can get more written on the train to and from work.

The Ugly
- Too many cliches.
- I haven’t had much time to update my site, so it currently has template sections showing through rather than information about me.
- I haven’t got my email address in a prominent location, so the only way to contact me is via the comments. I’ll hopefully address that issue tomorrow.

Well, that’s my critique of my current endeavour. I hope the few of you reading are enjoying the trip through my mind.
