My response to the creative prompt at Inspire Me Thursday (“Dear Diary”) and a response to the “Be inspired to Journal” prompt (why blog?):
This is a page from an old journal that I embellished, scanned into the computer and then applied a filter to. I then added a bit more text. I’ve been very intrigued by others that have been using books as “altered journals.” I decided some time ago that I wanted to do this. The current prompt from Inspire Me Thursday got me started!
Do I see “bee creative” as a journal? Sort of. While I was in college I had several classes where we were required to keep a journal on the books we were reading or as a response to discussions we were having in classes. The instructor would read what we wrote and would comment on what we had written. Blogging reminds me a lot of that process, just with a lot more commentators.
I do see blogging as something bigger than journaling though, more as a conversation with a global community. And that’s why I am blogging. I want to be a part of that conversation….
