Hello and welcome. If you're new here, be a dear and Read my Disclaimer. My diary not good enough for you? Fine, be that way. Try these instead: plf

2000-08-06 - 17:28:28� When I started this diary I was under no delusions that I could one day look back on it and say, wow, my life was pretty interesting. I did sort of hope that I could look back on it and think, wow, I may have had no life, but at least I was expressing some interesting thoughts. I think some of my diary entries are interesting, maybe even (dare to dream) insightful, but somedays I honestly have nothing much to say. Today is one of those days. So why am I even bothering to update my diary at all? Couple of reasons. The first is that I didn't update yesterday, and considering how often I have been updating, it would just feel weird to go too long without saying something. The other reason is that it seems that this is the place I seem to be able to write much of anything these days. I consider myself to be an amateur writer (hey, who doesn't, right?). I'm a fairly lazy and unmotivated amateur writer though. I don't think I could ever write a novel, simply because I would get too bored and discouraged long before I finished. I can barely finish a short story. I've got at least a dozen short stories in various stages of completion sitting on my hard drive right now. I only have about half a dozen stories that I would consider to be 100% complete and to my liking. Well, there are a few more than that if I consider the fanfic, but I don't really. That's separate. Still, even though I am really bad at finishing the stories I start, I still feel like I've accomplished something if I can write at least couple of paragraphs of something a day. If I can work a bit on a short story, a piece of fanfic, or my very long from finished novel (more likely a novella, if I even get that far), then I feel like I'm on my way to improving myself as a writer. It's been a couple of weeks since I managed to do that. But if I can at least spit out some words into diaryland every day, I do feel a little better. At least I'm writing something, right? This really was a rambly entry. I think it's got to be painfully obvious by now that I don't plan out my entries before I type them...
