Wow. We’re one week away from half the year. This is week 25 of the MFRW Blog Hop. Be sure to check out the other authors blogging this week.
I bought myself a diary with my allowance from the five and ten store in the shopping mall near my home when I was 12 years old. I wrote in it at night before I went to bed for about one year. In it, I wrote about our move to a new neighborhood and school and the changes that were taking place in my life.
Then in 1999, I had a digital diary with LiveJournal that I made private. LiveJournal was relatively new at the time. But that only lasted about a month before I turned it into a blog about Steampunk.
Now I use a notebook for brain dumping or morning pages. When I started I wrote every morning before I worked on my WIP. For some reason, I’ve dropped down to about three mornings a week and my writing is not the same. Too many distractions, I suppose. I’m working on getting back the other two days of the week and leaving my weekends free.
Did you keep a diary or journal? Tell me about it in the comments.
I never got into the habit of keeping a diary or journal–nor have I any desire to do so.
I was never consistent with keeping one, but I enjoyed the writing and it was kind of fun to read what I wrote as a youngster. My mom was an encourager of the journal. Thanks for visiting.
