I've always been useless at keeping any sort of diary. I've tried time and again to keep a regular journal - I believe I once mangaed to do it for nearly a month once, before it collapsed entirely. I got my first blog about 3 and a half years ago, my trusty livejournal. I do not update it very often though, in fact once a month is good for me.
I have another one too, although I pretty much never go there anymore. I actually wrote quite regularly there for a while, although nothing of substance. I think part of the reason for this is that I was not really writing to people who truly knew me, at the same time as having some sort of audience. Some fiction went up there.
Oddly enough, I spend a lot of time blogging in my head. I imagine exactely how I would describe events that happen to me but by the time I get to a computer I cannot be bothered any longer. I also spend time in my head writing up things happening now as they were 10 years ago and I am now a newspaper columnist. It's nice to dream.
I started this blog for a few reasons. I want to keep up with what is written by the people I know here, I want to see how it compares to lj and I'd like to see if I can keep up writing at least semi-regularly and see if that helps me with writing in general. Worth a try, right?
