What about report cards?

Post #70.

A couple of weeks and I'll be finishing month number three, a quarter of the way to my goal. A month and I'll hit 100 posts. At 300 words each, that's 30,000 words.

Am I a good writer? I don't know. I'd like to think so but the jury's still out. I know someone is reading these things because in 2½ months, my blog's had over 1,000 views. But apart from dependable ol' Mom hitting "like" on facebook with each entry she reads, I don't know what you think.

In case you're reading this but you're new to my blog, I recommend going back and reading my older posts, especially the first two. If you want to know what I'm trying to do, those are critical to "getting it."

However, getting people to read it isn't the point. My stated goal is to see if I have what it takes to be a writer and if so, to maybe even launch a writing career. I don't know what that'd look like but I'm just getting started. But even beyond all of that, I really want to make a difference.

As a result of the road I've travelled in my life, I've read many different things. I've studied a combination of topics that've given me a worldview that I want to share with others. In recent years, I know conversations I've had with a lifelong Democrat have brought them revelation and they're now highly disillusioned with that party. I didn't brainwash them but I did shine light into dark corners and they came to their own conclusions.

If this project and any future opportunities that come my way have the same kind of results, I'll know my effort wasn't a waste.  So, please, comment if you're so led.
