- blockwriter 4y agoI've been doing an exhaustive review of my diaries from the last 6 odd years. I am amazed by how many sentences start with one idea, lapse in the middle, and conclude almost as if another person had taken over. Evidently, some thought had transpired in that interval, but I failed to transcribe it to the page.
