Today's challenge is an interesting one. In just six words I am to write a memoir. For about the last 20 minutes I have been going through different iterations of basically the same thing, dealing with how I am who I am due to my friends and family. And I think I may have done it. So here it goes!
Friends and family make the man.

31 Day Challenge: Why Start This Journal
I guess I should explain myself. This whole little piece of the internet sea is from the inspiration of post from the Art of Manliness website. I always thought that it would be nice to keep a journal and a blog, so I decided that I would start this site. And to get me going I thought that I would take the 31 day journal challenge. If you don't feel like visiting the link, though you should as it is a great site, the general idea is that they give a topic each day to encourage you to write. The idea is that by taking the challenge, a habit of writing will form. So hence, this site.
For the first topic I am supposed to write about why I want to start a journal. I guess I just really always wanted to start one. I am one of those people with many ideas but yet can be very scattered brained. I think that having my thoughts put into physical (er...digital) words then perhaps I can become a bit more focused of an individual. It will be interesting to see if this challenge does change my habits or opinions.
As an added benefit this challenge will help me with my writing. This is important for two reasons. I am starting college back up and have been so removed from writing papers that I fear I may be a bit rusty. You know what they say, practice makes perfect. I also just have always dreamed about becoming a writer and perhaps this may help me learn skills that I would need if I ever do choose to head the direction.
That is it for now, I hope some people may follow along with my journey. Perhaps I will not be the only person to learn from this. Heck, maybe you will even be entertained!
Have any of you tried this before?
