"Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers."--Isaac Asimov
Writers write. But sometimes life events make it hard to write. So what can a writer do? Journal. Think through the fingers. Many writers journal every day. I've been out of the habit for quite some time. I am back in the habit.
Do you journal every day?
No, I don't. But I should. Some days, I look at my facebook posts as a sort of journaling. I'm so glad you've rediscovered the art. It can be so helpful and reflective. Wishing you loads of warm wishes. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. ^_^
DeleteI don't journal every day, but I always know it's there when I need it for healing. Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way, Angi.
ReplyDeleteYou are golden. Thank you. ^_^
DeleteNo, I'm not much of a journaler. More of a visual day dreamer. But have written plenty of unsent letters in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm glad you are. And also glad you're blogging again. :0)
DeleteI've got a few unsent letters right now. . .
DeleteHey hey...I don't journal everyday. I should because I know there is a lot 'neath my surface, but to be honest it sometimes scares me. Phew! Even admitting this has made me all shakey. I need journal therapy for journaling, hahah <<often hide behind humour.
ReplyDeleteI am _so_ glad you are back in the habit and sharing that with us.
Thanks, Deb. Journal phobia. Interesting. . .
DeleteYay for journaling! Glad you are able to do that again. :)
ReplyDeleteI journal when my brain is too full, or my heart is, either with good things or difficult things. Other times, not so much.
I've been off and on all my life. It feels good to type words, one way or another.
DeleteI don't journal daily, but turn to it when I'm really stuck with a writing project. Which I am right now. Feeling very frustrated about having to go back to the drawing board yet again, so I'm hoping I can journal my way to a resolution. Or at least have a safe place to whine about it.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your own journalling.
Sorry you're stuck. Hope you find that resolution soon. ^_^
DeleteI've only journaled during trips where I wanted to record the details to remember later, and during extremely stressful times in my life (like the two worst summers). I have another journal where I write my personal observations during what I perceive as historic events (wrote in it on 9/11, for example).
ReplyDeleteI have definitely been keeping a journal since I started my transition this fall. I also hadn't written in one in about ten years, but it's amazing how quickly the routine comes back. I don't write every day, but I sure enjoy those couple-times-a-week downloads!
ReplyDeleteHope yours is helping you through this as well...
