Do you journal?I keep hearing that a bunch of older famous writers journaled, but now the only people I hear doing it are chronic instagrammers.
>>25468668Yeah I journal.
>>25468668>chronic instagrammersIgnore performative productivity porn LARP. Write whatever you want.
>>25468668Yes, I keep a journal. It's a way of rescuing my life from obscurity.On my deathbed I will read through my old journals, and hopefully convince myself I've led a worthwhile life. It's looking good so far ...
>>25468668I wish I had a diary entry from 9/11. I was around for it, but I didn't write anything. It would have been fun to see my own commentary to it. I was online, so maybe I said something about it on a forum or something and it's still out there somewhere.
>>25468668Yes been journalling on and off since I was a teenager. Not huge amounts and not daily but it's a way to keep track of my internal thoughts and perspectives as they change or remain the same over time.I've recently created a digital system of journalling which I'm very happy with. A private imageboard running on a raspberry pi on my LAN. I have different threads for different topics relevant to my life.
>>25468668I used to. My diary was basically My Twisted World basically twelve years before Eliot published his. I'm a 44 year old man now.
>>25469170>rescuing my life from obscurity.Doesn't that require someone else to read it?
I don't do a day-by-day type journal, but maybe I should, even if it's just concerning the everyday banalities. I've got some decent material, and it would give me something productive to do instead of lazing around.I write down my thoughts and opinions and stuff like that, I think of them more as essays than a journal (I tell myself I might go back and touch them up and they'd be real essays instead of crude rants, but I've only done so once.) I think its a good practice, keeps me a little sharper than I would otherwise be, and it's good psychologically, like a pressure release, because otherwise I just brood, or shit up a board with rants (like this right now o.o) I occasionally write down my dreams if one is especially lucid. that's more recent though so I don't have much to show for it.
>>25468668>Do you journal?You seem, anon, to have omitted a few words from your question, most notably a verb.
>>25470225I'm hoping a bot will scrape it and use it for training data, and I'll linger for the rest of time as an AI's body thetan.
>>25468668I tried to keep a journal in Japanese to practice my output but I had so little to say every day (shut-in NEET) I just gave up.
Yea, I kinda like to write down what hapenned in my day but I need an specific type of pen to do that like those 0.5mm pens with liquid ink
>>25471264You can write about stuff that didn't happen to you. Just write fiction or write letters to dead authors.
>>25470225Shit, I hope not. It contains explicit details of my encounters with hookers.
>>25471298That's actually a brilliant idea.
