Journal writing habit, history & lore

March 20, 2001 - San Francisco, CA
I’m afraid. Sincerely scared. Cried and cried. My eyes are swollen. Seb gave me criticism today that made me defensive. It was good advice. However writing is hard. It feels tiring. It feels truly, truthfully: impossible. I cried tonight—on the sidewalk I let it out—because I desperately, certainly, want to be very, very good at something…if not the best. What am I good at? What are my talents? I have only average brains.

January 6, 1943 - Moorhead, MN
Went out with Dave, Phil & Mike—Yankee Doodle Dandy at Fargo. Ate at Grill. Cold. Dave does’t like me anymore and I cried. He was here from 12 to 1. I don’t see why I’m always hurt.

As soon as this next week
is over I’ll be able to
breathe and feel more
secure about actually
living my life
I need to start
doing what’s going
to make me happy!!
a journaler’s float
You’re invited to a casual Zoom gathering to talk, share, and learn about how we write in our journals.
We’ll get into everything from what kinds of journals you like to use, when you write, how long you write for, what pens work best, and what helps you keep writing.
We’ll learn from each other.
It’s free.
Date & Time to be announced.
