Journal Entry #1

Hello World,

It's 2016! The start of a brand new year, when we all get to wipe the slate clean and start fresh.

I'm not much into making New Year's resolutions but this year I've decided to try something new - a journal. My only experience with a journal is the one I kept during a college year studying abroad. What a walk down memory lane that was when I found it the other day while packing up for our move!

It got me thinking though. In the back of my mind, I've always wanted to write a book...someday. I don't know what this future book would be about or when I would sit down to do such an out-of-character activity. And if I'm being honest, I'm not a very good writer. Oh, I can string words and phrases together so that ideas make sense, but that doesn't make me a WRITER. And I know there are lots and lots of books out there that were written quite poorly. But I don't want "my book" to be one of them. This means I must practice. So here I am, practicing.

If you're reading this, my apologies. I hope to someday be better at this. It may not happen, but I hope that it does.
