Hmm…interesting way of talking about it. The way I was taught this by my teacher was that the first entry in each volume of my diary should be “From Whence I Came”, giving my fullest possible explanation of “who I am and how I have come to be doing my present Work” and that this needed to be a sort of dynamic text I updated ongoingly as my insight increased.
I will admit that since I switched to digital journaling about five years ago I have fallen out of the practice, as I don’t have “volumes” in the same way as I once did, I just have OneNote. Perhaps it’s time to update. I have certainly changed a great deal over the last five years (I started transition around the same time…not living with perpetual depression/dysphoria brain changes a person).
I like this. I believe it’s essential to continually assess one’s progress throughout life. It’s also why I think the therapeutic journey is important. I realized earlier in the year that working on memoir pieces was really difficult at my age. Memory is tough.

As I have asserted in both my poetry and my philosophical writings, time is a monster.
Looking forward to digging in. You mentioned a monthly frequency. Are you looking at publishing around the 15th/mid-month?
It’ll be on the second Wednesday evening of each month. So around the 15th sounds about right.
You will be positively surprised by at least one part of my upcoming book 😈
I look forward to the book, though I noticed it’s been pushed back to December on Amazon.
Yep, the street date has been moved from 11 November to 2 December for promotional reasons with distros.
