Journaling with Multiple Personalities

William Boyd's narrator comments in the novel, Any Human Heart, "We keep a journal to entrap that collection of selves that forms us, the individual human being."  Later he questions, "Are there aspects of our lives - things we do, feel and think - that we daren't confess, even to ourselves, even in the privacy of our private record?"

Do you become bored or fearful when writing journal entries that delve into delicate issues?  Why not take advantage of imagination and fabricate experiences?

Benefit as a writer and problem solver by playing games from a personal kaleidoscope:  a me, myself, and I. While journaling, let the three selves jostle for attention, rotate and revolve.
Write in and out of reality.

Give names to three facets of self and nurture the multiple personalities with potential for characters.  Consider changing names daily to discover and delight in the nuances. What if you included names of favorite book characters?   Choose animals, plants and birds to push boundaries.

Boyd writes, "Every life is both ordinary and extraordinary. It is the respective properties of those two categories that make that  life appear interesting or humdrum."

Move way beyond serious and enjoy the potential.
