Help at last?

I have known for a long time that I need to write more. I need to get over my reluctance to write. Every word put on the page is a struggle. And I am supposed to be a writer? The reason, I believe, is because I am so critical towards my own writing. But also, I cannot seem to find motivation to write unless I know for sure it is for something, like an assignment. Writing just for the sake of it doesn't appeal to me.

I think I have found help, at last. A web page called 750 words might provide the solution. The idea is to write 750 words every day. Your rants do not have to make sense and will not be accessible to anyone but you, and you get points for every day you finish 750 words, and more points if you write for days in a row. Ah, a competition aspect. I am in!
