My Experiment

Well I finally did it. After thinking about it for weeks, I decided that if I really want to learn how to write, I need to practice. And what better way to practice than to blog and pretend that I have an audience. So here is my little experiment; will my writing improve enough to pass the GRE by Tishrei. The problem here is not my ability to learn, its how long will I last. Will i have the determination to write new material on a regular basis for more then 1-2 weeks (or even days), considering how much I hate to write.

So where do I start? I figure that I have a decent vocabulary for someone who never made it to elementary English. What I need to work on is spelling, grammar, and creativity (uncloging the flow of words from my brain). And if I work on this enough then my vocabulary should automatically grow as well.

The biggest issues that I will have keeping up with this is time and material.

• Time: it takes me way too long to write. In fact i have been working on this for an hour already. Therefore unless my pace picks up really soon, this might end up being one big failure.
  
• Material: coming up with new material is hard. Therefore I will stick to one subject a day. And if I think of more then one topic, I will keep it for the next day.

So here it is, this is my first post. Of course there still are issues that have to be worked out. Such as how often will I post? Every day? But that will take way too much time. Especial in the beginning. Plus that makes it like working out; once you miss one day your screwed, you never end up doing it again. Do i post three times a week? But then I am only delaying the inevitable and it will take longer until i can write fast. But this discussion is not for now. Lets start counting the days.
