I tried keeping a journal. I was reminded of the practice while reading about Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Thoreau, in particular, was a keen and scientificly-bent observer of nature. He also recorded poems, simple stanzas that became poems, political statements and simple personal events.
I began to keep my own journal and still make an occasional entry. I like the idea. I don't necessarily want to keep a diary. My life is relatively mundane (in writing, at least) and structured. It's not a terribly exciting journal. I just can't help it.
"Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - Wrote a thoroughly dull blog post about my boring journal. "
