I've decided that I need to rediscover my love of writing so that I can get the d-thingy over and done with. I need to write hourly/daily/weekly. Since the d-thingy is going to be read by a committee and an external examiner, and perhaps in the long run by the people associated with publishing and even (gasp) some real people, it seems that I should be practicing writing where other people can read it. At least in theory people can and will read this, right?
