Write more

i just wrote in my journal about my problems with money… it kind of made me feel more depressed then i was…. sometimes writing doesn’t help…

i’ve been writing a lot on the computer… i think my goal last time was to write more with pen and paper… but truthfully i like to write on the computer…. i like that i can check my spelling… i like that i can share my thoughts with other people… i like how neat my post look vs. my poor handwriting…

so the verdict is in… i will continue to write on the computer…

right now i have two project going on with my writing…

1) i’m writing in a notepad, that i keep in my pocket, all the things that i think ill be interesting to write about… this could be anything from an interaction i had that i thought was funny to something more pressing and thought consuming (like money problem).... at the end of the day i pick one topic and write a longer post about it and how it made me feel….

this has been a fun assignment because it gets me to write more and about things that i would usually forget about…

2) another assignment i have is call A Month Later…. with this i take old post and revisit them… i’m doing this so i don’t forget where i was and what made me happy/sad or any emotion… i can also write about how i improved or digressed with certain issues… it’s good for me to reexamine my writing to see how i can get better and what i can add to make myself a better writer….

i will continue these projects… i think this will be enough to focus on for now…

p.s. the drawing topics out of the hat ended a long time ago… and i don’t think I’ll start that again

today i picked the topic Black Elk… whic is my co-op that i live in… i didn’t write too much but i did get a lot of ideas about learning more about the native american Black Elk… i feel that i should help write the history of our co-op… from the history of the man Black Elk to the history of the co-op Black-Elk…

maybe i can help start a web page…

ummm just thinking about this right now

wrote a cool piece on my first tattoo…

i was actually laughing out loud from the memory…

i’m enjoying this exercise

ok… i’m falling short on this goal… i think i’m going to hang it up for a bit and get back to it…

ok… so far i wrote about my sex life, internet dating and i’m just about to write about death…

i like this exercise… i’ve been writing on and on about nothing but then in the end i think i’m coming up with great ideas…

still don’t want to share my sex stories here…

but that’s not part of my goal

funny that the first topic that i pulled out was “sex”

but day’s one topic was covered…

ok… this goal is not about writing better it’s about writing more…

i’ll add a goal in the future that will be “imporve my writing”

i really need to do this…

but my assinment will be different…

i’m going to write different topics on a piece of paper and put them in a hat… and every day i’ll write about what ever topic that i pull out…

this will help me with my imgination… help me with my writing skills… it will keep me busy and it will make writing changelling and fun…

i started to write more in my writen journal…

i’m realizing how crappy my handwriting is… no wonder i have an online one… i only have to worry about poor grammar and spelling…

actually i butcher the English language…

i think my goal for next time is to find an online course where i can impove my writing skills…

oooo no hand written letters at all…

i’m not really good at them… and i don’t want to force myself at it…

so… for next time i like to see more creative writting for my self…

i’ve been writting daily in my blog but i like write more for myself.
