Step One: An Idea

Obviously this is where I begin.  Since I'm just now starting this blog, I have a few ideas that I've been mewling over for sometime now.  I want to use one of these ideas.  They are, by all means, not complete ideas, but I have to start somewhere.

Hello, I'm Plaidiator, and I'm here trying to develop my skills as a writer.  I want to use this blog as a way to practice my writing skills while also developing the discipline to write everyday.  I will fail at this at first, but I won't give up.  I don't have any clear idea where I am taking this blog so bare with me as a work out the details.  My plan is to go through my writing process from an idea to a final draft.  I can't say I'll ever get to the final final draft, but we'll see.  Thank you for reading through what will eventually be walls of hopefully not complete nonsense.
