My last entry here is dated January 2, 2015.
(Edit: Actually it was November 14, 2016. After posting, I discovered that not all my entries had successfully imported from LJ.)
The sad part is that at the end of that entry I actually made a New Year’s Resolution to journal more regularly. LOL Epic fail!

In his article, Why You Should Write Daily, Leo Babauta says:
Writing helps you reflect on your life and changes you’re making. This is incredibly valuable, as often we do things without realizing why, or what effects these things are having on us.


I agree. Besides the potential to have a deeper self-understanding, what I discovered while reading past journal entries today was that there’s also a huge entertainment value in having a record of former life events. After reading one work adventure, I even e-mailed a former colleague with the story.

“OMG,” she replied, “I had forgotten all that shit.”

Yeah, me too.

Another benefit is that [community profile] therealljidol is coming back for another Idol Mini season, and I have decided to participate. That’s great because even if I have a total brain freeze and can’t come up with anything to write about, [personal profile] clauderainsrm will gift me with a weekly topic.

Hopefully I’ll be more successful this time than I was with my 2015 resolution.

For those of you who missed it, buried as it was in the comments of my previous entry, I'm restarting my old writing community, A World of Scribbles, [livejournal.com profile] worldofscribble. I've revamped the rules somewhat, and invite any of you who are interested to stop by, read the profile page to find out what's up, and join if you like what you see. Similar to the LJ Idol competition I participated in earlier this year, there will be a writing prompt for community members every two weeks, and after everyone's posted there stories, a poll to see which submission people liked the best. Unlike LJI, no one will get eliminated, this is intended as an ongoing push to get those of us who love writing to actually do it. So, stop by, sign up, and participate when you can. I plan to kick off the first writing challenge this Sunday, after which, people will have a week to contribute something. Then, the poll goes up! *grin*

Oh yes, as with LJI, entries will be posted in people's journals, so you'll start seeing stories and essays from me here in Aimless Writings again. No worries, I'll tag them all with AWOS, should you *sobs* choose to skip them.

Dan, who can think of some excellent writers on his Flist he'd really like to see join up… Arm twisting? LOL
