on being a bit more consistent...

it's been ages, i know, i should apologise. things sort of get on top of me and i forget what i do.
so it's back to the start again.
are you consistent in your everyday life? i'm one of those people that sometimes starts things and then leaves them in the middle, it's a common trait i carry with me since birth (if you listen to my mother, anyway).
in any case. i've changed degree. i just couldn't do nursing anymore. now doing english and creative writing, and as a result i'm much happier and focused. hubby is doing wildlife conservation, which sounds way too tough for my liking!
so i'm told that the idea of being any writer is to keep some sort of journal, where you should write everyday: random stuff, bits of a novel, bits of a poem, observations, snippets of overheard conversations. anything will do, in actual fact. so off i went and bought me a brand spanking new notebook, with all intentions of writing on it as mentioned above. have i done that? no! i've written on it up until the beginning of october and then nothing more.
why? why am i inconsistent like that? so what i will try to do instead is write here, which i was supposed to do all along, and see if that moves me to then doing it on my writer's journal as well. i'll try to teach myself consistency and hopefully i'll learn this time. at my grand old age it's overdue, to be honest.
