Hi. I'm K. Bliss, author of this blog, and I like to think I'm a creative person. However, despite my best efforts, including most recently enforcing the strictest of regimens (reading (fiction, non-fiction, the daily news), museum viewing, and self-flagellation), the current intellectual funk I find myself in is unwavering: I am still lazy, unmotivated, and simultaneously wallowing in my patheticness while still belligerently idealizing myself as the next great artist whose creative talents are just waiting to be tapped.
No more!
You see before you the beginning of a project, inspired wholly and completely by Michael Beirut's workshop at Yale which I read about here

(please check it out, the projects Beirut has posted are awesome, particularly the one with the chair), but slightly amended. I'm not doing anything for 100 days. I mean, let's not just rush in to anything. I'm taking it a bit slow. So I have settled on 30 days.
Or a calendar month? No, let's say 30 days, that way most months I have an extra day to play with.
Right. 30 days.
Every month (starting March 1st) I will endeavor to do something every day and document it here. What will I be doing every day? Something that challenges my creativity, something that pushes me to think outside that damn box, or just think at all (I'll settle for that), and something that allows me to grow as a person. Huh.
If I don't post something every day...wow. I guess, I fail? Not sure. We will deal with that contingency when it arrives. WHICH WILL BE NEVER!
No, in all likelihood it may happen. But I'm hoping it doesn't, mainly because this is my first blog and that would be a terribly lame way to end it.
Alright. Let's do it.
A note: I am not alone in this life-changing endeavor. I don't mean moral support from family and friends. I mean my friend is doing basically the same thing. I have no intention of inciting comparison (it's clear whose is better) as this is obviously not a competition (I'll still win), but I do encourage those browsing this blog to also take a peek at his, which can be found here
