Introduction

"To do writing practice means to deal ultimately with your whole life" (3).
The last line of this introduction is to "use this book," and so I will. I've always shied away from writing in this or in anything online every day. What if someone reads it? What if no one reads it. The reality is that the area is here whether I use it or not.

The idea of ultimately dealing with my whole life is at once exciting and terrifying. Of course it won't happen all at once and maybe not at all. But maybe I owe it to myself to try.

And so, after trying to find a routine for this, I have decided that I will read (re-read) a vignette from Goldberg's two book volume: Writing Down the Bones and Wild Mind and write something each day. Or when I remember or feel like it. I don't know that I can stick to this, but it will be an exercise.
