So, after coming from work today I've decided to give Hiragana a try. Since it was/is already late I compromised on learning just 3 "letters". Hahaha... are they even called letters?
I've learned A (あ) I (い) and U (う). I can also write "auia" and "uaiu" ... gee I feel like I'm fluent already! Ha! あういあ!
That's my notebook above, first attempts :)
I've noticed that writing this takes some effort! It's almost like being back in 1st grade and learning how to write your abc's all over again!
This chart from About.com was very helpful during this initial lesson. Yoshida Institute is another good website I have found.Question of the Day: What was your reaction to first writing in Japanese? Harder than you expected it to be?

Hi sebby,
to me it was fun writing Hiragana, Kanji needed more concentration, since u have to be precise, otherwise one stroke will too long or too short ;), the over all size matters too.
