Your post with the prior consideration is encouraging this little old lady who is still studying Life, writing poetry, having a go at short stories after recently completing a full length novel. I would like to put it out there my intention to match your dedication of assigning an hour a day to write something. I rather think posting to a blog will come at the end of the day. The only time I succeed in any creative work - poetry or plotting - is very first thing after deciding a target before downloading emails and waking to the outside world. Having left school at age 14, entered University at 38, (that being 40 years ago) I look forward to following Student Life.
