It's no secret to my friends and business associates, that I write and most of the time, when it's convenient, my words are accompanied with a humorous drawing.
I have a handwritten journal I keep at home, and I always have paper and pen with me when I'm away from my desk. Recently, I've been keeping a micro-journal on my cell phone using the OneNote app which syncs well with all my devices. This micro-journal is good for writing on the go or when I'm even at home when I get the itch to write right-away. No waiting.
Needless to say, I have an assortment of sketchbooks which also serve as a journal. A graphic journal, if you will, and in them are drawings which record my thoughts just as words can.
I have this thing about me where I insist I can do things better than anything mass produced whether it's cooking a meal, coffee, or even writing. There are many best selling books I've read (or began reading) that I couldn't stomach. Some of these books are bestsellers and congratulations to the authors who have found the way to sell to the masses. It's also a heavy commentary on the mindset of the readers of these books. Someone once said
"When I want to read a
good book I'll write it."
Maybe I'm totally wrong. I could be swinging at a ball that isn't there. Who am I to determine what is good writing and what isn't? But don't we all have our own opinions?
