The Internet, How to Journal, and Serials
The internet is big. Trying to figure out how to journal can be overwhelming. Serials are just their own bitch. But, that is what I am doing. Why? Well its back to work, vacation is over. Mundanity abounds. Yeah, I know mundanity is not a word but I like it...so there. Vacations are a funny thing. You have extra time in a different, hopefully fun place. So you want to maximize your time doing those fun things. Writing gets thrown to the back burner for bike rides, hikes, souvenirs, and sitting by the pool. Let's all face it writing is not a fun thing. Don't get me wrong, writing is inspirational and exciting, but it is work. Which when you are on vacation is what you are trying to avoid. I also am a bad motivator and missed a few deadlines while out there. Now that I am back into the routine of work and kids, I need to transfer what I felt and ideas I had on my trip back into my still in progress writing schedule. I have tried a similar approach to Dali wherein he would doze off then wake himself with a dropping spoon then immediately draw what he had dreamed. I have taken to fishing those ideas swirling in early morning before totally awake. I try to get a few starting lines and an idea of direction, and when I can't keep it going only in my head I start to put it to tablet.
So bare with me over the next couple of weeks as I try to reestablish my routine on this site and work on serials for here as well. Leave comments to let me know what direction you would like to see things going. More as a journal for me to spurt into the internet, or a place to find my flash and poetry. I think the serials will provide that, a sense of journaling, but also some fictitious work as well. Once I get them going feel free to subscribe so that you are not left out. Thanks again for the read, see ya next time around.
