Kicking Things Off

Not too long ago I came to the realisation that I hadn't been doing as much writing as I used to. It's something that saddens me quite a bit as when younger I would regularly churn out pieces from as short as a couple of paragraphs to essays that could go for page after page, across a whole variety of subjects.

Therefore I'm making a resolution here and now to start writing again, using this little ol' blog as a means of just expressing my thoughts and as a means of getting feedback. Because I'm not going to be able to improve without some form of criticism, constructive or otherwise.

I've already got a couple of ideas for material:

• First up will be something on the TV series Caprica, which I recently finished watching for the second time and have a few things to say on the series.
  
• The second item will be more of an essay-styled piece dealing with China on a variety of issues, the underlying theme being that of 'Change'.

Other things may come up between the first and second subjects that I may want to write about in the meantime, so don't hold me to any of the above as a fixed schedule just yet. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get cracking!
