My friend Pete is a cellist as well as a composer, and as a personal challenge attempted to write something new for every day in January. As someone who can't even begin to imagine what writing music would entail, I am very impressed. Take a look at his January Pieces, though read the first post there to get a sense of the project – it's not a finished set or anything.
I can't think of a better thing to start the year with.

Thanks for the link. I’ll post something up soon to explain what the hell all those funny accents are, and maybe ramble on in an incoherent manner about it all.
Writing music is easy: play a note. Now play another one. And another. Continue until you feel like stopping. Write it down if you like.
