It has been ten years since I have written anything. These years have been spent practicing Emergency Medicine in a couple of very busy emergency rooms, which does not lend itself to much writing. Doctors orders and prescriptions rarely require matching tense or action verbs. Because of this even a three paragraph story is taking a few rewrites just to get the tense to match. Trying to impart the feelings that I had at the time using words is both frustrating and rewarding. The things is, I can tell a good story person to person. I get very animated, use different voices and facial expressions that really punch up the story. Trying to get this into words is very different. It gives me new respect for people who do it well. The people with a site that you read daily just to see what is next. My promise is to work and work until I get that good.

There are many resources available on the net that can make my writing better. Over the next few months I am going to do at least one thing daily that improves my writing. If you are here, I hope the positive changes will be evident.
