write in my journal more often

When I created this goal, I was thinking primarily of my LJ; but as it happens I’ve been writing in my Tarot journal (every morning this week so far); so I’m going to expand my definition of ‘journal’ to include both my LJ and my paper journal, on that score, I’m doing well :)

Made as journal entry yesterday and today. Have one ‘in the pipes’ for tomorrow, or any day soon that I don’t have anything to say.

After nearly a week I made another LJ entry. I need to remember that I’m allowed to just write about whatever is going through my head.

I’m not quite managing every day, but I’m doing better than I was a couple of months ago. I just need to keep reminding myself that my LJ journal entries don’t have to be ART

Today I found I was writing a long comment about what I’d done today in the comments of my friends’s blog, so I cut and pasted it into a new entry my MY blog instead.

My problem, I think, is that I’m way too conscious of my audience when I’m writing a blog entry. It sucks to spend time writing something that you care about, and getting no response whatsoever. I don’t have a TON of LJ-friends, but I do have 50 or so, and when I write something that gets no responses at all, I feel that no one cares about me.

So one of this year’s resolutions is to view my LJ more as a journal for me and less as a way of broadcasting to my friends.

I’ve just posted my grades for this past semester (behind a cut). It’s bragging, but I don’t care. I want to be able to read back years from now and remember all the work those grades represented, and how proud I was of them. So I don’t care what people think about me posting them.
