stories – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

Write I

When I run out of words to put on paper
Recharging with a drink or a walk helps
Imagination expands from other stories
Talking to friends and strangers gives sparks
Eradicating the mind’s block through living

Write (Poetry Series): I, II, III

XXIII: Becoming More Forgetful

Lately, I have been more forgetful, and I hate it.

Let me list all the things I (almost) forgot this week.

XVIII: Full Circle II (The Diary’s 2nd Anniversary)

2 years ago yesterday, I published my first post here on The Diary. And looking back at those 2 years… oh, man, I have been through a lot.

In my first year of blogging on The Diary, I promised myself to publish 13 posts per month and I will blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thankfully, I reached my post goals and schedule mainly because of my Minute Warning series (where I write anything under time pressure under 10 to 30 minutes). And if I were to publish a longer post, I have a writing process that works. You can check my first-year retrospective on this post.

And today, in my second year of blogging at The Diary, I’m looking back and checking if my writing processes still work and if my blogging schedule still serves me well.
