Anyway, on Friday I went shopping with my step-grandmother for Christmas/birthday presents (she likes to pick them all out in one go, at the same time.) We went to Target, Old Navy, and Barnes and Noble. My FAVORITE store. I could wander around a book store for hours and not even notice. And in Barnes and Noble, I always meander my way to the journal section. I found a journal there entitled "One Line", a memoir of five years. The point of the book was to write one line from each day of your life for five years, and then you'd have an autobiography. I was intrigued by that idea, but didn't want to pay the $15 for it.
Then, I saw this.
It's a little notebook with a drawing of Jane Austen on it.
I love Jane Austen.
And this book was only $10. So, I chose that one. And I have thus decided to dedicate it to being my One Line Memoir. Don't get me wrong, I'm an avid journal writer. But as of late I've needed a more... creative outlet. I'll continue writing in my journal, but I'm excited for this too. I have only to choose the right day to start, because once I start, I will not be able to stop. You see, I have a nasty habit of starting projects I think would be interesting and then stopping midway. But I am determined.
I will do it.
With Jane as my witness, I will finish this.
You should start it on your first day of college! Or the day you move out to go to college. That would be coot!
ReplyDeleteI meant cool but coot is better, so I'm gonna leave it as coot.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was thinking like the first actual day of me living there. Well... the second haha. I move in on a Saturday, so I was thinking the next Monday. You should copy my idea and then we can read them in five years together!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not really MY idea haha. What I meant was, you should copy the idea I copied from a book in Barnes and Noble.
