Dusty Journals

Why is it that the longer you leave writing a entry into either a journal or blog the more important that entry has to be?

Over the years I have started my fair share of journals. I still have them here to prove it. Sadly I don’t think any (except the one that covers my last UK trip) have more than 10 pages written in them. Once the inital excitement has worn off and I put the book down I have to be really motivated or determined to pick it up again. Actually I’m the same with reading novels - which I guess explains why I like YAs (young adult books), they are short and faster.

I read somewhere that there is a logical reason why some writers can keep journals while others struggle at it. And before you say it, it wasn’t because they were slack or lazy, it was more logical than that. It seemed to tie in with left and right brain strengths and making lists, but can’t remember. LOL! maybe it was to do with being preoccupied and forgetful.

Anyway I decided to go against my trend of not continuing my record keeping till I had something amazing to say. Maybe there is hope for me yet.
