Whoops, I let it get a little dusty in here hey?
It's been a while. *sheepish grin*
I'm sorry. I've been...busy.
I know its no excuse but, what can I say? Sometimes its just hard to do take care of everything in a day. 24 hours is not enough you know. They should really speak to someone about extending that...I mean, who needs sleep? Really.
In one of my classes today, we had a lesson on journal writing. I know, can you believe it? Journal writing. As part of our internship and research, we must submit a reflective journal detailing our experiences and thoughts of the organisation which we've worked with. Journals are huge with arts and cultural studies and practice, good thing I love keeping one. Works for me.
We were given a instructive course on good Journal maintenance. Seems pretty straight forward but you would be surprised at how the concept of keeping a journal escapes people. At least it surprised me. I've been a journal writer since I was four. Nothing to be impressed about, I could barely write let alone spell, but the practice and general intention was there.
Apparently it's good practice to write in your journal everyday for at least 10- 15 minutes. You must be frank and honest. You must not delay or procrastinate with your writing. And most importantly, you must write in the same bound book every entry--meaning no writing anything down on a random piece of paper only to paste it in later.
I thought about my personal journal, my blogs, and my writing habits in general...
Nothing like a short course in: "You're doing it wrong."
