Journal entry for August 6

August 13, 2011

One week ago, August 6, was my first time taking part in an event called Do Nothing But Read Day. Sounds right up my alley, right? Of course it is. But sometime during the afternoon, my mood took an extreme downward turn. Later in the evening, after a nap, I tried to capture my thoughts with pen and paper. The results are in the photos below.

I hope to continue using my new journal to keep my writing hand in shape. 😉 I plan to post more pages from it on here if/when I can.
