Yes. I keep a diary.

I admit it. I am 24, married for almost 7 years and keep a diary. I have kept a diary since i was little. its an excellent unloader and way to keep family events. Of all the diaries I have had I only have my last two. I no longer have the ones from when I was little or even first married. I wish I did. I never knew that a diary could be more then just writing and i am just discovering that fact. I have recently just started writing letters to Desiree Montgomery. Desiree is my alter ego. She's living the life that I used to want to live. I am now even pasting things into it. (I have a picture of Bruce Willis from Armageddon.) and even drawing pictures in it. Pretty soon I will need a need a new one and have many plans for it. I will probably keep writing to my alter ego. I can really let loose at her and she doesn't complain. Maybe I will try to add some scrapbooking stuff to it. So as of now I am in the look out for a new diary. I know it will never be famous as Anne Franks but she wasn't writing for an audience. She was just trying to survive.

Constantly Distracted Writer

Saturday night everybody was gone and the house was empty. Perfect chance for me to do some writing without any distractions right? Wrong. I got distraced by my phone  and a book I was reading amd ended up doing nothing. I am constantly finding myself distracted while I am trying to write even though I have a writing space with a door. I either get an email and that makes me go online to look at something else or my husband will come in and ask me something (completely disregarding the do not disturb sign). I need to find a writing partner or someone that I can use as a way to stay accountable. I have tried to use my husband (he just says 'uh huh' and 'good'). I've tried to write down daily to do lists. So far nothing has helped. I just dont know what to do. I will continue to try and find a way to stay accountable although doing this could be considered getting distracted.

Unpacking and writing

We have been moved in since the 7th and still arent unpacked. I just dont know where to put it all. There are odds and ends that dont seem to belong in this new house.  The only that I managed to unpack is my writing area. I have turned a portion of my walk in closet in to it. I even have a do not disturb sign on the door. The rest of the closet is left in boxes but i still have my writing desk.
