Like the commuter portraits I talked about a couple
of days ago, I’m frowning at the lack of writing with my fitness-walk sketches,
too. Sometimes making a sketch will prompt thoughts that I’d like to write
about, but I save them for my written journal (which I work on mostly in the
evening). Standing on the sidewalk is not exactly conducive to long-form
writing, but maybe I can learn to be less verbose – boil down my thoughts to a
couple of sentences.

8/31/26 These idiotic geese have the bad habit of
wandering out into the street, but instead of crossing to the other side, they just meander around slowly, stopping traffic in both directions. |
I tend to write a bit more in my sketch journal when I travel
because I’m using it as a travel journal, too. As you read this, I am just
getting back from a week away in which I set myself the goal of writing more in
my sketch journal (and not at all in my written journal, which I didn’t even
bring). I’ll probably eventually talk about that process.

I didn’t forget that today is Day 1 of InkTober! Although
I have a plan, as I’m writing this more than a week in the past, my
future self doesn’t know yet how successful I was at starting InkTober on a travel
day. I may begin tomorrow. Will report in soon. |
9/22/26 I remember when this old snag standing in Maple Leaf Park was still a tree. I don't think I ever
sketched it then. I thought it was time to finally appreciate it. |
