The rusty typewriter

In short, my writing mind feels like a rusty, dusty, creaky, cranky, reluctant, and neglected typewriter.

But, it is time to write again. The name of this blog will no longer be relevant. But, there isn't any other name that seems suitable for naming this blog either. I plan to write on faith, education, reading, books, creative endeavours, and other little things noticed in life. But beyond these, my larger goal is simply to write again, as a way of practicing the craft of writing, and training myself in its discipline.

I expect there will be things written of comparative worth, where one tries to measure worth of writing. There will also be times when writing is mere drudgery, instead of the deeply satisfying creative act I usually think of it as. There will be times I wish I could bring more of my faith into my writing, times when I wish I were more accurate or intelligent in discussing Important Educational Matters. There will be other times I wish there were more pictures in my blog, and other times I would fuss about the lack of an audience reading these words.

But then I will see this post, and be reminded that just as extensive reading can grow a reader, extensive writing can grow a writer too.
