Writing before bed, and Movies.../October 11

I wrote this last night..

Of course only I would go to..go to bed and suddenly get the urge to blog...

The notebook I've been carrying with me is this tiny little red notebook with a ribbon page marker. It reminds me of those notebooks Jamal used to write in, in Finding Forrester.  Everything I've written in it up until now has been in pencil.  I'm not really sure why.  Maybe it's so I can erase and re-write, erase and re-write. I gues that's part...

I lost it. I stopped to play on my iPod and lost the thought. Bad, bad Sarah! I think it was something along the lines of it having the opposite effect to the saying that one should never throw away their writings. You never know when or if you might be able to use it, them. Hmm. Moving on...

Sometimes I feel like my writing is juvenile. I feel like my words aren't quite as eloquent enough, or mature even. I don't know. I've read things written by peers, and more often then not, they sound much more mature then what I write. I just have to keep on keeping on, I guess.

I'm going to try and keep this little book by my bed. I have some pretty messed up dreams sometimes and have been told that keeping a dream journal might be helpful for the writing process. The only problem is, writing my dreams down is often not the first thing I'm thinking of doing when I first wake up from them.

Every time I sit down to write a blog lately, I am reminded of the movie Julie and Julia. Julie wrote a daily blog based on her experiences while cooking through Julia childs cookbook. She gained quite a following from it.

Wouldn't that be cool? To gain a following from writing a blog. I'm not really very sure that very many people even read this one.  I suppose that would also require writing more then one blog a month.

Well, until next time my friends....
