Happy Snow Day, to all those who observe.

I kept a meticulous diary in my teens and twenties (i still do, but nowadays I mysteriously have less time to write 9 pages a day about my feelings and it’s mostly just “today was great! well the melatonin is kicking in, good night”)

some high school diaries, crowned with my ticket stub from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ho ho ho

in this way, writing has always been a part of my life, but i never thought of this as writing so much as it was just externalizing my feelings so they wouldn’t destroy me.

FORMAL writing has always been a much more painful process, but I discovered a process for paper-writing in high school (!) that saved my life all through university AND seems to be working now.
