Journeys of Life
Dec. 10th, 2018 09:39 pmI have kept many journals or diaries in my life. Some continue for a few weeks, I kept one up for several months, I have the journey app which I use on and off.
No matter where the writing has gone it eventually ends. I don't go back. My journal is neglected.
When faced with that blank slate my mind goes blank, even when it was bubbling up with thoughts and ideas and fears and hopes and dreams and all sorts of things not five minutes before I opened the app or the drew out my pen and pad.
One reason I started this journal (and journals differ from diaries) is I hope to take a writing journey, to develop the skills to write daily, or almost daily, by specific exercises, taken slowly over the course of a year. These exercises are meant to instill the desire of writing while at the same time curbing the fear.
So if you want you can come with me. Next post will explain a bit more about the difference between a journal and a diary and what journal guidebook will be.
Most likely I will post other things here as well; fics, poems etc. Journey is the tag to look for if you are interested in taking the journey.
Note: Journey entries will be about the exercises, what the exercise is about, how and why to do them etc, and not the exercise themselves. That I will keep private.
