September 2, 2004 What is writing to me?

Writing to me is not exactly a chore. I don't mind having to write a paper as long as the topic is of interest to me. I find it very difficult to write when I know nothing about a topic or frankly don't care enough about a topic to put any thought or time into it. I do; however, really enjoy journaling. It is such a great thing to get to go back and read about what I was thinking or feeling on an exact day. I can really put myself back to the what was going on at the time I had originally written it. I did this when I was at Basic Training and AIT so that I could remember all that happened and so could my family. Writing is a great way to tell how I am feeling. I don't think that I am an excellent writer, but I also don't find that I am the worst writer in the world.
