i wonder about those essays :)
"once upon a time I did stuff, here's some opinions on it", was the gist of most of those. Observations and other slight of text BS. I saved a few, not impressed (with myself) with any of them.
The three journals Ikept are more revealing (and beneficial) for myself. 30K+words each
MyGoodNotes Vol 1. Vol.2
Pi Journals Vol.1 Vol.2
Offline Journal 2020
Joplin/Blog notes
All about the same length. I deleted the BlackBerry Diaries that I had on my BB Classic, but there were two volumes, 30K words each.
I also had The Typewriter Papers Vol.1-4, but I only went back and read Vol.1. It was weird as I was alone in STL when I did those, no Internet for that month (well, Vol.1, anyway) and I was slowing down to an analog-ish city life pace of existence. Thermos coffee in the park, typewriter-ing in the evenings, ducking into the bathroom to smoke some herb, walking to/fro Metrolink/Metrobus and trying to be approachable, friendly. Less phone time. It worked (meaning it made me feel better) but strong Lexapro helped.
