Having not done either for quite a while, it’s obvious how the two go hand in hand. You don’t just go out and run a marathon without training for it, and you don’t start with a novel. At least not if you want it to be any good.

So, instead I will start by doing the writing equivalent of one mile runs; blogging. Blogging, just like the pretense of regular exercise, is something I’ve started many times before. But where is the harm in starting? Just because I haven’t kept it up in the past doesn’t mean I shouldn’t start again.

If you start again, over and over, it becomes regular exercise/writing. And that is the goal anyway.

So, here I go.
