What is a blog for?

I'm going to set myself a challenge. Fear of failure is my biggest obstacle to my daily writing. So I'm going to try to fail and see what happens. My new goal is to get a piece of writing rejected five times. That's five rejection letters for one small piece of writing. As soon as I collect all five, the piece will become a blog post.

And hey, if I'm as good as I think I am, maybe I'll never get those rejection letters, and this blog will continue to suck, or at least dwindle away to even less frequent postings, because it won't have any real writing on it. Or I'll be a famous writer posting my speaking and book signing tours on this blog, or answering questions from all the other new writers.
