I didn't think it would be appropriate to do the other version, 'what I've been journaling about lately', as the correct answer would be 'very little at all'. I seem to be neglecting this journal badly. Everyone has interests which move in cycles, while others remain central and constant. Music is, of course, my primary constant with books a very close runner-up. Writing is far less of a priority for me than it was once upon a many years ago and the internet itself seems to be something of a perennial for me. It bothers me that I have done so little writing over the past few years, indeed since I was severely ill nearly ten years ago. There are inspirations and I still enjoy the process, but it's a struggle these days to motivate myself into setting aside a time and space to simply sit and write. I would far rather be out walking in the air with headphones, serenading the neighbourhood. Possibly I should try to turn my hand in the direction of songwriting, but I have always felt my own work to be lackluster in that department. I admire the works of artistic genius and my own skills cannot possibly compete. Perhaps if I were fonder of mediocrity my own works would not pale so in comparison to what I have come to expect.
In an effort not to be so deeply disappointed with my own lack of creative output, I will set myself an assignment, something simple and easily achievable. I am not aware of this journal having an audience beyond my own family, which makes any lack of polish on what I write here easier to live with. ;-) I will strive to write something once a week or so, possibly rambling essays on the topic of my interests. That seems an easy enough task and might get me back into the habit of writing something, however below publishable quality.
