Diary Entry #2: Two Posts In One Day

I feel the need to explain myself because on my last post I just wrote, I didn’t over analyse, I just wrote and it felt great but now I have the realisation that I haven’t really explained anything or elaborated on who I am, what this is all about and why I am doing it. So, long story short… I am FJ, I am 30 something (I say ‘something’ not because I am embarrassed about my ever increasing age but because I can’t remember if I am 32 or 33!). I am female, have a hubster and baby twins. I don’t really know what all this is about or what it might turn into or why I am really doing it. I just felt like it. Currently it is ramblings, almost diary like. If you are one for grammar and spelling and writing perfectly as much as I try, I am not great at that so these posts really aren’t for you. Or maybe they are and you will get a kick out of correcting me!

Diary Entry #1: Why I Write

Here I am, sitting in my Livingroom in my 1970s home, watching a Netflix film about teenagers (of which I am most definitely not) and figuring out how to use this wordpress app. I had an urge to write. I have always written, I say always…I didn’t come out the womb writing! But not far off. I kept countless diaries as a child and teenager (oh those angsty teenage diaries!!). Now I am 30 something and still write. I recently started a notebook where I can write songs, this amazing idea came to me when I had 5 minutes to myself in the shower and decided that I had most certainly had thought of the next big hit whilst I was lathering myself up with foam burst shower cream. I wrote a page and the rest sits empty (for now…). When I had a bit of a breakdown (yep, heavy one) I decided to write a novel, it was about a man, a writer, a drunk and something about murder. Needless to say I didn’t finish the book and I lost interest. So why do I write? Because I have an urge, its therapeutic and I want to just vent in some way or another. So here I am, writing again and maybe this time short snippets of ramblings is the way forward rather than committing to a novel or a music album!
