I actually burned my early journals... once because my mother was snooping around in my stuff when I was 17-ish and I feared she'd force me into therapy, and once when my ex decided to violate my privacy (I was kinda OK with that) and read them and then try to tell me that my sense of reality was not true (which I was NOT OK with).

My earliest attempts at blogging for an audience happened on sites like LiveJournal, Diary-X and Xanga in the early 2000's. I loved the idea of Steem (and now Hive) because that genre had been more or less killed by Facebook (and I always felt tumblr was a cesspool...).

Creativity does seem to come and go... I have been in a lull, as of late... which probably means I'll enter a phase of posting 2-3 times a day pretty soon!
