Hi to all subscribers of this community,
I just wanted to see how everyone is doing. I’ve not been active on Lemmy in recent times, as I have cut social media out of my life for the most part. However, this is one of the few communities that I still visit from time to time, as I think this is a great community (even though it isn’t very active).
My creative drive has been killed of by the heatwave last week, as it was 30C in my apartment. It felt like my brain was just in survival mode as I was unable to do any creative things this last week (like writing, drawing or even just thinking about life as I usually do).
Today is the first day that I really feel like writing again, as it has cooled down.
How about you? Was it hot were you live and did you do any journaling last week?
Yeah, getting these blogs off WordPress has done wonders in ways I couldn’t have imagined — like I am getting more traffic to the new blogs than I ever saw on my WordPress blogs.
Absolutely on the old-school pen and paper writing experience. I got into fountain pens last year and started keeping a journal in A5 notebooks. I’m over 800 pages this year. I also started drafting my longer essays in B5 notebooks. I’m working on my third essay. (When I say long, I mean 20+ pages each.)
Some journal entries I will be turning into short stories, or incorporating into novels. And eventually I’ll type up and re-write my essays to publish online.
