I'm already an advocate of keeping a dedicated journal for piano practice, but I wanted today to take my writing a step further and start a brain dump.

This is because my brain needs to have its cache emptied. Rather than another 'journal' (my music one is very structured), I want a ‘dump’ ... something messy, unfocussed, and unedited.

Today sees that first dump. Here are the few rules I'm setting myself:

There is no set time or place for the dump

All dumps will be input into SN - this may be by typing or speech-to-text
The only editing will be to review and anonymise and identifying information

Happy blogging to all those who read this, and happy dumping to me.
