scans from a stream of consciousness (May and June 2025)

Back in March of this year, I picked up a spring start Hobonichi cousin as a tool to encourage more daily creative writing. Since starting it in April, I've been filling out one A5 size page a day of stream-of-consciousness writing as an exercise in getting better at writing prose.

Some days are hard to get a full page in with the cousin's small 3.7mm grid size. On those days, I tried to fill the page with at least one, somewhat nice sounding sentence, which usually lead to me writing in cutesy bubble text. Here's a few scans from those days.
