Deadlines aren't much of deadlines when self-imposed; when the prisoner is the judge, jury, & executioner, clemency tends to win the day. Nevertheless, while a clear goal with a clear timeframe doesn't ensure success, a lack of a goal and/or a timeframe nearly guarantees the opposite. Therefore, the plan for this blog is to set a goal of 500 words per day, six days per week.
Speaking of inventive fictions (such as the writing goal outlined above), this blog will mostly be fictional writing, and most of that will be speculative fiction, and most of that will be science fiction (which is a rather weaselly-worded goal... as at least 51% of at least 51% of at least 51% adds up to, well, perhaps not a lot). The non-fiction is mostly for another blog, which is also being dusted off and set back on its feet... but more on that later (probably).
The main audience for this blog is, as of now, an audience of one; if the author can do a semi-decent job of converting some of his thoughts into words on the page, then maybe it might grow into something worthy of a larger audience (of two... or even three?), but for now, this writing exercise is mostly to help build the habit of exercise... getting into shape is a ways off, yet.

In any case, here's to the first 250 words... or half a day's worth.
