Writing down the past

Sep 21, 2005 03:16


I've started writing down experiences from my past.  I found I never really used my journal (actual journal) for writing down my life.  Its just poems, movie ideas, philosophy, comedy acts, and drawings with a few rants thrown in.  So now I am going back and re-living events and experiences that I feel were a big part of my life, by writing them all down.

The only problem is that I never finish what I am writing.  I get bored, space out, have a completely different thought, turn the page and start writing that instead.  This is a problem I have with scripts as well.  Occasionally I will do it with poetry.  But I shouldn't say "i never finish" them, because I am pretty good at going back to finish, its just probably not as good as if I would have just "gone with it" the first time.  Sometimes its better.  I usually leave myself the space I think I will need to finish whatever it is I'm writing.

Recently it has been hard to find the time to fit writing in.  When I do find time I just want to chill or have to do other things like clean and do laundry.  It is also hard to write when you are never alone.  Not to say that that is a bad thing, just that it can be hindering to writing (You better not be making that "hhmmm" face woman).  I am sure writing will pick up again, once I head back to OK.

And this is a stupid journal entry, but fuckin A, I felt like writing something.  Boring.

Aight, I'm Out. 

journal, past, writing
