One Word At A Time

I already have an established blog at http://livingartloud.blogspot.com/, but since there I mainly focus on my painting projects, I will use this page to rant about school and other writing adventures.  I've only just made it through my first week back at school, so I can't really gauge yet how the rest of the semester may go.  So far, I don know that my history class in unexpectedly giving me grief.  I love history, but I am completely unfamiliar with ancient western civilization, I'm off to a bumpy start.  I do, however, trust that my English class will remain my favorite, and not just because this blog will be presented in class and graded. Overall, I am excited to finally begin this chapter in my life, as it has been a long time coming.

This quote was mentioned in class the other day, and I have a feeling it will be repeating in my head now every time I sit down to a blank page.

When asked, "How do you write?" I invariably answer, "one word at a time."
