Dedication?

[azurelunatic]

For some people, it takes dedication to write daily, dedication to read a massive friends list, dedication to keep adding new people to the fray, dedication to devour books whole.

For me, it's the way I live. I write. Left away from LJ, I produce computer journals; away from computers, I write in my journal; away from a bound blankbook, I write on looseleaf paper; failing paper, I compose in my head, and will braindump the results over the next span of time I have near writable media.

I read. I take in all sorts of interesting things, and those give me insight and information. Even the silly books have their purpose. I study human interaction, study even why that book wasn't realistic. What makes it silly.

It takes dedication to keep me from the books.

I was talking the other day to a friend about the fact that we both end up writing LJ entries in our head as we go through the day, thinking about what was noteworthy and how we would write it up. I don't know that it's necessarily bad, but it is kinda curious.

I am certain that old-fashioned correspondants did the same: "Oh, that would make an excellent item to include in my next epistle..."

Heh

I have to carry a notebook (or 6) around with me all day so that I can jot down ideas about things that I need to write about.
I have 2 lj's and a paper journal. I write about different things in each of them, but they all seem to be full. Hmm.

I have this journal, the journal for the main character of my novel, my novel's shared journal that both "she" and I write in, the journal for one of my alter egos, my professional LJ...

Not to mention the two cats shammash and eris_raven and the turtle hot_chocolate, which both my roommate and I update in.

I also administrate templeravenmoon and kittenhate.

Plus I have a paper journal and a palmtop with journal feature.
