Amy Journal Theory - Part I

AUDIENCE, PEOPLE!

An online journal should be addressed to the general public. The people reading your journal do not know you personally, and therefore, don't care about any of the following:

1. what you ate for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

2. the mundane details of your daily routine

3. the weather , unless it relates to something else you're saying.

4. the FW30 forms you spend all day filing at work.

5. anything else that the public, not knowing you in any particular way, might find un-relatable, un-understandable , or otherwise inconsequential.

**sorry to pick so much on one diary. nevertheless, here's an interesting challenge -- scroll back from the most recent entry, and try and find one instance wherein the words "because" or "surprise" are spelled correctly.
