I'm still deciding how to create this journal and whether it is a worthwile project or not.Perhaps my life isn't interesting
Perhaps my writing isn't excellent
Perhaps this project will fail.Then again, what is failure?
Is it failure, if no one reads? Maybe, but if I only went throught the motions of creating this journal, every day, then I will have gained something. Improved writing, some discipline. A better view of my life.
Is it failure, if no one responds? Perhaps. After all, if no one responds, but people read, then at least something is going on. On the other hand, if no one responds, then my writing is neither great nor terrible. Just pland pablum. That or only apathetic people read it.
I think it can only be a true failure if I start this, and don't continue it.
If you are reading this, then it isn't a failure. Thank you! I don't plan on announcing this unitl it's well underway. Until there are several entries to read, and there is actually something to look at.
I didn't get much writing done this weekend. I went home, and visited Mom and Dad for Mother's day. We had our usuall family dinner on Sunday, at Nanny's.Mom, Dad, and I went on a short museum crawl on Saturday. Dad, his usual, get things done self, quickly strode throught both the science museum and the art museum we went to. Mom and I were on our hands and knees, playing with the touchable exhibits for kids.
The art museum was next. I think I'm beginning to understand some abstract art. Especially if it isn't completely abstract.
I think I'm going to use this journal to write what interests me. Not everything that interests me will be interesting to you, but I have several interest, and I quickly change from one to another. My life and reasons will bleed in...and, I hope, you will come to know me.Right now at the start of this project, the most interesting thing to me in the world is this journal. So I write about writing.
That will change. As I change, ephemeral as the wind.
