Scribbles

Scribbling in my journal. Writing in that book is what keeps me a "writer". The actual physical contact of the pen to the paper, the fingers to the pen, the scratching of the pen against the paper, the spill of the ink makes me a writer. Without that it's just fingers on the keyboard, and I am becoming a typer. I don't know that I can point to any way that my journal is "practical" except that it keeps me writing in something, sketching in something.

And what is it in me that feels the need to sketch down quickly, on this page, in poems, in notebooks, on a keyboard... life?
