Journaling has always been hit and miss for me. I was most successful last year. In January at the beginning of the pandemic I heard someone say the more people who wrote about our world and related it personally, the better for the archeologists who find said diaries.
I was extremely consistent and as accurate as I could be and let my worst fears, angers, and imaginations go wild. I managed longer than any other attempt at writing a journal. I think I wrote daily at least until June. Then the journal informed my Camp NaNo project Pandamapocalypse.
By September, I had fallen into my old habits. At first, I missed a day here or there. Before I knew it months had gone by with no entries.😪
At least here at the blog and Duolingo, I’ve been consistent for quite a while, a couple of years, actually. So, not a journal per se. But an entry a day. Yay!

You and I sound so much alike! I do it for a while or when something happens and then I forget. With blogging you’re talking to somebody and I think that’s what makes it easier to keep up with. 🤗
I get to the same point at times that I have with diaries as far back as 3rd grade; the fancy one with a lock and all. At least I try to make it slightly more interesting than, “Today I breathed in and out.” Though at my age during all the covid, that is an accomplishment! Still, I cheat. I filled in with reblogs. But very seldom.
You do an amazing job on your blog! I need to revamp and work on mine more.
Oh, you think so? Thank you, I feel like some changes need to be made, but I haven’t had the energy to do them. I’m doing good to get at least one blog a day up! There are so many prompts and I want to do them all, but days like today I just can’t. 😕
What you said. Me, too. In fact, you do more prompts than I have the energy or brain power to do. I seem to just follow Linda’s and even then, lately, I’m struggling right now. Even the 1-liners have been a strain. And I don’t have all that you’ve just been through going on. Yay! You!😊
Aww, thanks, Dar! ☺️
Having an online group is a great way to show up at the page…er…screen…er…keyboard.
And that’s journal of sorts!
