When I was little, my mom read some of the "Anne of Green Gables" books to me. I've always remembered the scene where Anne and some of her friends were writing stories. Diana would just kill everyone off because she didn't know what to do with them.
What if your character starts going slightly insane? Or, um, takes up a dangerous hobby or starts cow-tipping or something?
Well...Anne of Green Gables books bring up an interesting point, though. To an extent, nothing out of the ordinary happens in those. Yes, she gets into scrapes and has problems, but they're of the everyday sort, really. And yet...they're interesting. I'd love to be able to write that way, and maybe this journal is a step in that direction.
And though it's not something that will be interesting to anyone else, it isn't really THAT boring to me, because it's a way of exploring my own thoughts and of saying and describing things in a more flowery way than I really would. It just isn't...publishable or shareable...but then, that's not really my goal, I suppose. It's just something that is always at the back of my mind, even though I don't want it to be.
