This is a good idea. I'm sitting here, reading this at work (instead of working, shhhh!) and part of my brain is saying how much you remind me of the character Rodney McKay and the other part is sticking its (very sharp) elbow in my id and whispering dooooooeeeeeet.

I look back at stories I've written in the past and think they were written better than what I've come up with over the past year or two. I'm not sure why that happened but I think if I did this practicing thing with you (you ALWAYS make me a better writer) it would be good for me.
