Well that was a FAIL.

I wanted to write for 30 days straight and I miss day 2. Nice one. Lucky for me it takes only 21 straight days to form a habit. So, I can start now and still form this writing habit before my next vacation! We'll just forget that the whole "31 days" blog ever happened. It'll be our little secret.

"If you’re going to be a writer, the first essential is just to write. Do not wait for an idea. Start writing something and the ideas will come. You have to turn the faucet on before the water starts to flow."
Louis L’Amour

Well said, Louis. Well said.

I'll turn on the faucet and you'll all be drowning in a torrent of prose unleashed up in here! Starting...tomorrow.

So, What's the Strategy?

I’m going for a Social Media strategy…blogging, tweeting, yelping, picasa-ing. I’ll be using this blog to document my steps to obtaining this trip…learning Japanese, taking a Flower arrangement course, becoming a pro at origami…In the meantime, I’ll also be blogging about my own trips, restaurants, points of interests, etcetera, etcetera, ad infinitum…

So, I guess what I really need are some followers. That way those judges will know that the things I'm writing about are actually being read. But hey, one step at a time!! This is only my second blog entry!




So, you! Yes You!! The random person that just happened onto the blog by clicking the wrong link on Twitter. Let me know in the comments what else I could do to get ready for Japan. And yes, I’ve already taken a course in Sushi making, so I’m good there. Oh, and while you’re here…become my first Follower and you will win the right to have your pic/icon right here on the right border of my blog for all (or as of now, none) to see!!
