It'...As routines go, for me it is pretty minor. It's generally the last thing I do before I turn out the light, or before I start reading. I've only forgotten once so far.<br /><br />It's kind of a mindfulness thing. It makes me think about the day that has passed. I've tried more traditional journaling in the past but never kept up, because it became a chore because I tend to overwrite. But limiting it to one sentence is pretty simple. And I like the practice of making notes of things, and trying to pay attention as I go about my day. I feel that kind of mindfulness is a key part to improving my writing, and using the world to make what I write more real.<br /><br />If any of that makes sense.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070278104646895235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-34248997272048543252013-07-11T15:38:53.680-04:002013-07-11T15:38:53.680-04:00I think this daily task would reveal stylistic tra...I think this daily task would reveal stylistic traps we all fall into. Chris' examples show a nice variety of long and short sentences with good detail that arent' too cumbersome in construction. I'm not sure I could do this as I hate anything that resembles routine. I can't even walk the same way to the CTA bus stop every day without adding some variation to keep it from being a boring habit.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-58141161835606648582013-07-11T14:53:14.270-04:002013-07-11T14:53:14.270-04:00I taped the Mason movie too.
