I have toyed with the idea of making this blog more of a journal entry. I thought it would force me to write in it everyday and perhaps on later re-reading give me somewhat useable material for my short stories.
There used to be a time when I was an avid journal keeper. Every conversation, or most, every event in my little irrelevant teenage life was recorded. Every afternoon I would sit quietly in my room and write.
I would have the journals made of simple, unlined printing paper and bound in a hard cover laminated with a work of "art" of my own creation on the cover. The unlined paper, then, used to fill me with this overwhelming sense of freedom. I could write any way I wanted. I remember writing once with words all over the page, any which direction, until they started to over lap. I called it my "Free Flow Thought". Today there are names in those words that I simply don't recognize any more.
Now with the speed at which information is spread on the internet the question of how personal you make anything on here is a very important one. Obviously I can't exactly say all that I may want to. No angry venting in obscene language talking about how much I hate everything(yes I was a very angst filled teenager). I'll probably have to temper it a lot.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea.
We'll see what happens nah!
