Journal 2024-05-12 Sunday evening.
I had a solitary but satisfying weekend. Didn't go to shul, or to any political or social events, but I did get plenty of rest and exercise, and I got a lot of stuff done that I wanted to get done.
I've been working towards getting back to writing regularly, and setting some specific goals for what I want to produce, both fiction and non-fiction. In the non-fiction department, there's a set of ideas on moral and social matters that I want to explore, hopefully building up to a set of essays that I've provisionally titled "notes on man and society". Also I want to get back to commenting on current events and politics, and on books and culture and the Bible.
I'd like to get back to writing stories again, even if just for my own amusement. Sometimes it's fun just to tell a story, or to read one; I think we have an innate hunger for the mysterious that pushes us in that direction. Also, fiction can be a good way to explore moral and social dilemmas; I think the things that make life and people complicated and interesting are mostly the same things that make good writing complicated and interesting.
