I'm starting this journal for the following reasons:
1) There's a lot of interesting people in LJ-land. I want to have one comprehensive "friends" list to read, instead of bookmarking pages and visiting every day. If I have "friended" you, there is no need to friend back - but I hope you don't mind that I have added you to my list.
(Note on the use of "friend" - like some others have mentioned, I dislike LJ's use of the word. Reading list is far more accurate, and that's how I use the function.)
2) Most of the journals I visit are writers and/or in the publishing industry. And like the user and journal name suggest, I'm a (hopeful to be published) writer. However, I'm having a very hard time with AIS (no, not the insurance company, but Ass In Seat). I'm using this journal to practice fifteen minutes of writing, whatever pops into my head, in the hopes that it will jumpstart work on my very stalled WIP.
And...that's the first fifteen minutes down. Not a very productive in terms of word count, but it did help to clarify just what I want out of this journal.
