SO perfect and enabling for where I'm at. In my crusty old guy retirement from the day-to-day, I do little but talk to my wife or, when she tires of that, myself during all waking (even sleeping) hours, occasionally scribbling down what's afloat up there in the noggin. Then I go take a swim and talk to myself when sudden bubbles indicate I'm trying to say things aloud and better not— never a good idea. Gotta read the Odyssey again. That guy knew water.
A great idea. I think the illeism journaling technique of antiquity is this idea put in written form: https://open.substack.com/pub/andrewperlot/p/how-to-journal-like-a-philosopher?r=1xulhu&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

Another good one. Thanks!
Thanks, Pat.
Whoa. We’re Substackn’ twins this cycle! Only, your self-convo was actually helpful. I may need to consider that. https://petermoore.substack.com/p/conversations-with-myself?r=4g2k
If you were useful I'd unfollow you.
Ha. Yes. I’d be just like those damned children’s book authors who Deliver a Message! Be yourself! Don’t snort crack! Heaven forbid.
