Nikki the Journal

[idiosyncreant]

I'm launching a project on Tumblr, mainly for my own amusement.

Nikki and the B-Sides

It's a memoir project where I'm blogging my current reactions to the journal I started to chronicle my move to Japan at 13.

Yes, I had every intention of publishing it.
No, I guess I haven't really grown out of the idea.

It will, however, require a certain amount of editing, which is why I wanted a format in which I could insert commentary.



The name I'm using so far for the Tumblr is a terrible, terrible series of puns.

First of all, the Japanese word for diary is "Nikki". Which is the name I chose for ease of pronunciation, and (as you may see in the intro above, because I cherished ideas of pseudonyms). The B-sides, are "Bethany", the 26 year old me's side of things.

I plan to cross post here, if that's not too obnoxious, but with cuts, of course. Lemme know what you think!

You know, if you Google "Nikki Tyler" without safesearch, you will probably not like what you get.

Well, I didn't change my name to that, fortunately. Hopefully it will not come up often...

This may have been before Googling. Egad.

I love this!

Yay!

I've been (off-and-on) wondering how it would be possible to create a real book from the journals, how I could possibly edit it to be interesting and yet keep it authentic, too...

And the other day it came to me: Director's Cut. With commentary.
