Writing to let off steam. Now I have more steam.
I started journaling because I had too much going on in my head. Somewhere along the way, I put together a guided journal and published it.
I’m glad I did. I’m just awkward about telling people it exists. I overthink a few sentences, get annoyed, then wonder why I’ve turned a simple post into a whole afternoon.
Today I wanted to write something to clear my head. Instead, I spent ages deciding what to say and where to put it. Very relaxing. Would recommend.
When you’re tired and irritated, do you just dump everything on the page, or do you need a question to get you started?
My current prompt is: “What the hell is bothering me?” Apparently, “everything” needs a little more detail.
