Today is the first day of a goal designed to make me a better writer, and a better person.  The goal is to persue a difficult daily goal every day in a month, then pick a new goal each month.  This particular goal is to write 100 words. I spend all day every day writing technical specifications and code, and I find it creeping into my personal relationships and speech.  To some extent this is positive, as I am often clearly understood.  I seek to restore my ability to author prose and prevent the regression of my college essay writing skills.
