A Plot, a Plot, my Royalties for a Plot!

Well, the writing study is going interesting, if not easily, and it is rather fun... I'm learning a lot, too, both about the principles and practice of creative writing and about myself. I think I finally figured out why I'm so bad at keeping this journal... it's a combination of things, really... I have no idea what sort of message I'm trying to send with it, I don't have related thoughts to put in each entry that contribute to my overall purpose... makes it more a stream of consciousness than any other form of writing. And that's something that it's hard for me to really get into. Also, it lacks spice, because even when I have something to talk about, something I can get emotional about, often I won't write about it because I hate writing about other people, for good or for ill. (Though since I've written quite often about my human family that has interesting, if somewhat disturbing, implications about the way in which I have come to view them.)

Anyway, I really shouldn't be up this late, I'm going to just want to pass out tomorrow, but I really couldn't sleep and decided to get on and check my email and my friend's journals and that nudged me into making an entry of my own... first writing I've done all day, really, so I'm kind of glad that I did... I need the practice. :)
