Writing or Something Like It

It sure has been awhile since I have written here and I'm not really sure why. It sure isn't as if I have nothing to say. I do have a problem sometimes getting out a coherent thought. That may be because I don't write enough. I remember just about every English teacher I had saying that you had to write everyday to ever get good at it. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they were interviewing an author that said writing is a solitary endeavor and that was what made it so hard to do. However, going off by yourself and writing for at least an hour a day for 21 days was the only way to get going. He said that somewhere in those 21 days a light bulb would turn on and writing, while still hard would at least become more understandable and then possibly easier.

I don't really fancy myself a writer but I do have something to say. While I'm not sure just what it is I do believe that it is important to leave something behind that your ancestors will be able to look at and maybe feel something of what you and your life were like. It doesn't have to be anything profound because lets face it how many of us really are all that profound. So I'm going to strive to write a coherent, well thought out paragraph everyday about myself and hope that in the future someone will be able to understand me just a little bit. Some of it I will post here in the hopes that it will outlive me and go into some timeless archive to be accessed by future Tangen's. A bit of immortality and that is something we all want.
