I'm searching. Continuously searching for my path. I know where I'm going, but not necessarily how to get there. But, do any of us?
Things I know: I know I love to write. I know I love to read. My goal is to become as avid a writer, as I am a reader. How do I go about this? The answers to my "life" questions usually come to me after I've written the questions in my journal and this time was no exception. The answer to my question was "practice, practice, practice." Words I've heard, words I've read many times in the past. The exception now is the fact that with my love of writing, I know I will do this. Thus, the update to my blog.
I've been applying to a few "content" markets lately. Honestly, I've applied to SEVERAL content markets in the past six months. Most recently, though, I've strictly focused on just two and this has helped me keep my attention keenly centered toward my goal.
Everyone has different reasons for writing - or not. Everyone has a story inside them. Write your story, you'll be glad you did.
Benefits of Journaling
There are numerous benefits to keeping a daily journal. Entries in a journal can vary from the ultra-sensitive to the mundane daily sequence of our lives. One thing for sure, though, once you start your journal journey, you will almost immediately see changes in your life; changes in your attitude; changes in your disposition; changes in the way others see you because you are changing the way you see yourself.
You don't need a fancy leather-bound, made by hand, journal to record your daily entries. Although, I have to add since I make and sell these fancy hand-made books on Etsy, there is something about actually "using" your hand-crafted masterpiece. Writing in your beautiful journal will be tough at first but once you break the ice and actually begin, you will quite happily pick up your journal every single day because you feel good about it. It's like having your most favorite pen and actually getting a little pang of excitement when you pick up that pen and stroke it gracefully across the page.
Of course, there are also many other choices at your nearest dollar store, department store or convenience store. Any size. Any color. Any thickness. Any price. The aim here is to take that first step - buy a journal, grab a pen and start writing.
