I'm fascinated with books. Anything to do with paper, really. Journals, sketch books, manuscripts... I made a calligraphy pen once, when I was 11. It didn't really work, but I wish I still had it for future posterity.
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.
