Each Thursday,
poetigress gives a prompt, and people write something in that theme. I've been following off and on for a little while now but never joined. Now I am.
Considering how random this came out I don't really think this is a great first entry into that weekly ritual. But I was determined to write at least 15 minutes today in this prompt's direction and this is what came out.
Let me know what you think? I admit I'm feeling a little vulnerable posting non-erotic text for the first time on the internet in a long time, especially with something so... thrown together. But, that's something I need to get used to. I only spent a total twenty minutes typing and semi-edit-poking at this, but criticism is still welcome.

I don't think I have to, but:
A: I find it easy, so there's no worries about the quality,
B: My readers are looking for more of it.
Writing non-porn requires... you know, skill? Which I may or may not have, and since that's a muscle I haven't flexed in years I'm a little tense about it. But I want to do it more, so I had to take a first step, and making it an uneven step is probably a good learning experience. ^^;

Very nice, enjoyed this a lot. I figure... the one writing the journal is some kind of mechanical thing. Not human. Still, the things you describe are humane. Sometimes we can learn from ourselves by taking the viewpoint of totally another creature. I really liked the part where it describes how it wrote the entry in a few fractions of a second and in the end ponders if he should write another journal entry later. Yup. Comedy gold.
Very well written, I enjoyed this a lot. Great work.

Actually, the very first thing I wrote when I started this was, "So, today I sawed off his legs." Then I was inspired by that to change it to, "Finally, after sixteen hundred years, I figured out that if I sawed his legs off..." But I deleted that, and wrote that paragraph into its current format, then wrote the beginning, then the part after...
Ahh, the creative process!

I rather like the way that various details slowly collect and build in to a solid image in my mind. It's much the same way that I enjoy the process of being bound or binding with each progressive step far more than just seeing the result.
However I was still unsure exactly on the context; it's almost as if I could tell that the stage had the vague fuzzy boundaries. Mostly I think this is why I generally like Anime, the quality ones seem to have sufficient extension on the history and outer-area interactions to go beyond what my mind needs for the world to -feel- like it goes on eternally.

Part of the pain of being an author. You need to have the Master Plan for any seriously developed work. That way you know what the character's motivations are and everyone acts believably. It's important that they do so, otherwise the end reader will likely get confused and frustrated and set things down.
