My train of thought is less of a train and more like one of those guys standing alone on a platform with the little lever. There are fewer and fewer ideas that actually tow one another in a connected sequence the way that a train does its cars.
I think this is why it has been harder for me to read or write even when I have free time lately. It is much easier to hit pause on a video when the baby has a poopy diaper at 10pm than it is to hold onto an idea or try to save a mental image and return to a written page.
Anyways, it’s the new year. And that’s a time for resolutions and trying to refocus on who we want to be and where we want to go. I wrote a bit on Formed by a Flame about that (you could read that HERE). I’ll try to be writing more if I can so I work on getting some quantity which will ideally beget quality.
This little idea was too short and irrelevant for that page, so I guess that is what this Journal is here for: the quick ideas that don’t really have a home elsewhere but might be coherent enough for another person to read. And here I am writing about writing again.
With that, Happy New Year, 2025.
