write in my journal

I don’t know why I have such a hard time writing in my journal! I used to do it all the time.

Since I posted this goal, I think I’ve written in it 3 times. Of course, that’s a start.

I just wrote in it, it was only one sentence but it was a start!

I havent written in it since Oct or Nov of 2008. I just havent really felt like it, out of laziness.

I have been going through a bit lately, a bit lonely and sick of being single – a bit sad and disinterested with my job – a bit frustrated with the economy and the sad state of my finances…and whatever else. When I feel I need comfort or to get it out of my system, I have been picking up my journal. It also helps me to remember why my life is happening the way it is, and where I’ve been. This is really evident when I go back and reread my entries. It’s really helpful, actually!

I’ve bought the journal I want to use, I’ve decided the sort of format I want to use, I’ve got loads of ideas for entries. Now I need to JUST DO IT! First step is to scan in some of the pics I want to use and edit them to right size etc.

I write a lot, but want to turn it into more of a daily thing. I’ve read about this book called “the Artist’s Way” that has you try to writee 3 pages of diary entry every morning. And it can be absolutely anything, as long as it’s 3 pages, every morning. I want to try this to see if it does what everyone says it ought to.

I have been on and off writing in a journal since the beginning of the Summer and I think everyone should write a journal. Even just a little blurb about how your day was. I like the idea because when you read them over and see how you were you can see how far you’ve come and what you thought were huge problems before. Or if you write down songs that you liked you can come back to them.

I’ve not had the need, or wanted to write recently, so I guess there’s no progression in this goal.

I almost resent such goals, as there’s not clear end to it, it’s just a question of you finish when you want to.

Maybe I’ll write again during this week, maybe something will spur me on!

I’m going through a bit of a rough patch in my life. I wrote a new diary entry today, and it was good to let what’s bothering me drift away temporarily.
A lot of things take time, and I know that I’ll be able to look back upon the entry and think more carefully and clearly in the next few days.

I’d tried to journal for quite some time, I’d brought new pens, new books and had managed to write a few entries but it went nowhere from then on.
Now however, I’ve got myself a new book and a new pen, and I’ve started to write a few entries… I spent quite a bit on the book, so as I hate to see money wasted, it’s almost an incentive to write regularly. Lets just hope I manage to complete this goal this time.
