I made a mistake and scribbled most of these journals by hand into random pieces of paper scattered through different journals and such while I was on the bus to and from class. I'm going to condense them into posts here, now, so that they're readable. Here's the first.

I am excited to keep a journal the way I am excited to get teeth pulled, but I'll do my best to keep up with this. Let the records show that I am not a journal-er. I loathe it extravagantly.
I'm actually writing this on Thursday, because I realized I forgot to write one Tuesday. Whoops. I am clearly the worst. You'd better fail me now. Anyway, the thing I remember the best is the number-walking. I felt most comfortable around a six because I always walk quickly-- I prefer to get somewhere fast and have time to rest than meander on the way.
Distinguishing one through three from each other and four through seven from each other is definitely going to be the challenge, especially as a group. I also struggled with not making one through three "slow-motion" walks, but then I started thinking of them as seduction or sinister walks of power and it was a lot easier to maintain a constant speed.
It's interesting to isolate this idea of speed and what it brings up in our minds. Maybe, in the future, giving a character a specific base speed will help me find them easier. Maybe not-- you don't spend a lot of time walking back and forth across a stage, usually-- but maybe so. I'll let you know if I find out.
