• writing is a craft

  hello xanga.

  do people still read this site? if you read my xanga, can you let me know by commenting?

  and while you're at it, i have a request.

  i've been challenged in the last month or so that i need to start writing again. i know that God has called me to be a writer, and even an author one day.

  but my writing has gotten terribly rusty. yes, i write sermons every week for my youth group, but that's a different skill.

  i had a good talk with a friend last week, and he told me that the key is to write consistently. he told me how during his stand-up days, Jerry Seinfeld would make it a point to write out at least one joke a day. it didn't matter if it wasn't any good.

  therefore, starting next week, i plan to post here at least twice a week. say, about 500 words or so. i'll write on anything that comes to mind and sparks my desire to write - it could be God, ministry, baseball, girls, politics, news, food, books. But the point is, I know that I need to write. it's time to remove the rust.

  so if there's any topic you'd like me to (try to) address, let me know! thanks!
