Lately I've been going through some writer blogs like The Recycled Writer whose latest entry pondered on journal writing. Unlike the Recycled Writer, I don't care too much what I use to write in as long as there's plenty of paper and a black pen around. However, nowadays, I don't really write in a journal about how my day is going except when I'm traveling. As for any random thought, I suppose the electronic equivalent--the weblog--is just as good.
I'm also reminded of National Novel Writing Month which is just over four months away (and sign-ups are just over three for those of you interested in joining this year). It's never too early to start planning that 50k novel--I'm a big advocate for planning and outlining since it can both be a roadmap and a backup plan when inspiration doesn't happen to strike at the moment.
So I'm slowly collecting bits of ideas here and there for this year's marathon writing spree. Genre? I'm wavering between colonial sci-fi and supernatural-tinged travelogue. No plot yet though.
