So how was that?

I decided to go back to my roots. Today's words...As They Spill. The initial blog post here was a tidbit prompted by a new word. And this blog was intended to be writing practice. Practice. Nothing special, nothing polished, but practice.

I remember typing practice in high school. There were days I was spot on and could type an accurate 70 wpm. The next day I'd come in and my fingers would tangle helplessly or my mind would reach for keys meant for a foreign language. But you know, even those hopeless days when my accuracy put me back to dismal wpm scores were still practice. They still contributed to smoothing those connections between mind and fingers. They contributed to the next day when my fingers flew even faster.

And it is true with the writing. Because sometimes in these splatterings of words that land on a page there's an element, a person, a plot, and resonance that begs for more, and that is where the next story lies. It's best to show up every day, give it some effort, let the skills build.

I'm making no promises. There will be lots of drivel, maybe some gems, but I aim for nothing in particular. I'm just recording Today's Words...As They Spill.

That being said, it will probably be the 9th before there's any more spillage. :)
