I guess in my diary I’m not afraid to be boring. It’s not my job to entertain anyone in my diary. - David Sedaris

Days when the writer feels bored or uncreative deserves to be honored and accounted for. Those are days when you can pay attention to the boredom and see if it needs attention. Uneventful days allow the writer to pay attention to smaller details, observations, thoughts or feelings that might otherwise slip through the cracks. They also allow you time to revisit earlier entries.
