(no subject)
I've been feeling the heat to write in my Journal again. I never seem to get around to it at home, where there are other things to do on the computer, like write pointless computer programs and play pointless computer games. So I'm writing this from work, which is a bit naughty. But I'm bored of work. Unfortunately I'm also using Links via Screen via PuTTY which isn't an entirely helpful setup. But I digress.
I'm not sure what I'm actually digressing from, though. I think the my problem with writing this Journal is that I don't know what voice to use. I get an itch to write about particular issues from time to time (like, things to do with drumming, music more generally, or my work, or fun stuff I've done - the latter usually having already been written about wonderfully by Pebble). Should I lecture? (No.) Wiffle? (No.) Part of it is a self-confidence problem - I don't like to make an assertion too positive in case someone disagrees with me; I'll look stupid. Unless of course I'm right, but when is that ever the case? Probably I should just stop worrying about it and write whatever comes naturally. And try to be a little more self confident. Who cares if I am wrong, occasionally? (This sounds like a note to self voice.)
