Journal N°4: On keeping a journal Joan Dion
Saturday, the seventh of February.
Today, I read this text written by Joan Dion which actually describes what it is to keep a Journal.
In this texts she writes about why, how and when she started keeping a journal.
Trough the text, Joan Dion can be very precise when it comes to describing scenes or sentence but can also be really confusing since she keeps asking herself the reason on why she keeps notes and saying that sometimes what she writes is maybe the way she perceived something more than the real thing.
What I understood from her journal is that things, moments appear differently depending on someone’s perception.
She also talks about the fact that most of the things she witnesses and writes about are in relation with her self, even thought she is describing someone else. So writing is about other and herself, it helps keeping in touch her life.
