fill a journal

Wrote the last three pages this afternoon and I’m done.

I started this journal on the 24th of November, 2003, and finished it today. Looking back, now is better than then. It’s been a pretty eventful period of my life – moving cities, moving countries, moving on, meeting people, falling in love – and I’m glad to have some of that on paper.

Will buy a new journal soon, and repeat this process.

Since I’ve had this as a goal, I’ve written a lot more. Writing in the journal a couple of days a week has got my brain into ‘writing mode’. It’s a good warm-up and ideas generator for letters, short stories, maybe even future novels.

I’ve got 24 pages left in this journal, and I think I should make it a goal to fill another one once it’s computer.

I started my current journal on the 24th of November 2003, about a year and a half ago. Before today, my most recent entry was on the 21st of February. Surely I can write more and more regularly than that.

I have a lot of unfinished journals in storage at my parents’ house. I’d really like to fill this one.
