THE PROJECT

Inspired by the assertion in the book "Outliers," that 10,000 hours are required to "master" a skill, I seek to become a "master" in writing. I plan on documenting my 10,000 hour journey of reading and writing.

Day 1: 4 hours

I have decided to count today as the first day.  This does negate the reading and writing I have done during my entire life, but I feel that I cannot estimate that in a reasonable way.  I will call the work done previously "gravy."

Tonight, I read from the book Imaginative Writing by Janet Burroway.  I also wrote in my journal, wrote my first blog, and applied to the Stanford Writing Certificate.  This was a total of 4 hours. 

Only 9,996 to go!
