You should always make your journal fit in around your life, not the other way round, as I found to my cost (says the man with now six journals!) --- if a daily thing ain't working, change it. If you look at "Bitesize", it's subtitled "Trollheart's Daily Album Mini-reviews." Is it daily? No way. I found out pretty soon I could not keep that stuff up. But nobody cares: it's your journal and you may start off with high hopes and big dreams, and expectations but if they don't pan out just adjust your writing style to something that suits you. Make your "song of the day" thing a song of every other day, or song of the week maybe. Don't force yourself to write when you don't want to, because there is nothing worse than this becoming less like a hobby and more like work. I know, believe me. When the day comes (if it has not already) when you say to yourself, staring a a blank page "Oh ****. I have to write a journal entry today" then you need to take stock. It should be something you want to do, not something you feel you have to, or are obliged to do.

Yes, yes, the kettle speaks, I know...

Basically, I used to (and will again) go through the entries to everyone's journal and tell anyone who reads this what's going on in those journals. It's exactly what it says on the tin: an update of what's happening every week in the Members Journals section.

You'll see tomorrow.
