Return to Journaling

[float_on_alright]

 

I decided when I was randomly creating goals in my writing dot com account today (for the first time in a year or two) that I was going to journal at least five minutes a day this week. Honestly, I’ve been meaning to start journaling and writing again. I really do want to start writing some fanfiction again. I’ve been bouncing around some thoughts in my head about Carson Drew and Ryan Hudson on Nancy Drew. I mean, COME ON. I know the show is going for the whole, “Carson will be the dad Ryan never had!” But all I’m seeing is, “Carson is about to be Ryan’s Daddy and Ryan is going to learn to be his baby boy.” I’ve been reading a lot of D/s, Daddy/boy (not so much on the age play thing, but otherwise), and dark incest erotica lately. Granted, I started shipping them A WHILE ago so it’s probably more shipping them that’s influencing my reading choices more so than the other way round. But it’s hard to break back into writing after a long break. I thought journaling might be the way to go. I saw a thing saying you could change your life in 8 minutes a day and one of those minutes was supposed to be for journaling, and I like that concept, but how much can you really journal in 1 minute? I chose 5 and my timer just ended. Anyway, I should probably have made it 10 minutes, and I did think about doing that, but it felt intimidating at the time. Ten minutes seems like a long time even though it really, really isn’t. I’d thought about doing a word count goal too, and while that might be something I work back up to eventually, I decided setting a timer and just letting go was the best option for returning. I guess we’ll see how this all goes.
