Journal/Novel
It’s a novel in the form of a found journal, or a series of found journals
It starts with an 8-yo, writing in her first journal. She’ll have lots of starts, but not much follow-through. Lots of ‘Dear Diary, I suppose I should start by introducing myself, since you are going to be my best friend for the rest of my life’ kind of entries, across a series of journals. Some will have a few days worth of entries, some will only have the introduction. Every time a new journal starts, there will be a photo/drawing of the cover of the journal…
It will continue like this throughout her life. Some journals will have only a couple of entries. Some will have a lot of entries, followed by months/years of no entries, then fitful bursts of journaling. So, it will be this sporadic, but soul-searching look at a life, all the way through to the end.
