We're always happy to see new journals and new musical perspectives here, so welcome.

I know exactly what you mean though about something you love turning into something you hate, or more accurately perhaps, your hobby becoming like work. I used to work on my single journal to the extent that I would have up to FOUR entries PER DAY EVERY DAY. After a while it became a chore and I had to sit down and give myself a proper talking-to, after which I realised hey, it doesn't matter if I miss out a day, or even a week updating: this is MY journal and nobody will tell me off if it's not updated every single day.

Since then I've become much happier in what I do, although some might say I've gone back to how I was, with now currently SIX journals, though not all of them are updated regularly. Still, I enjoy myself much more now and can put more genuine effort into my journals than I did when I had to "force myself" to update.

So kudos to you for realising the way things were going. Looking forward to your first entries.

Oh and may I say, although I don't know you I'm sure many here do, so welcome back.
