I'll be gone for the weekend, so the mini-challenge of June will come early. 
The topic is: At long last.
Have your characters deserve something for a long time, and finally get it.
Hope, I'm making sense, half my head is already on holiday.

I suppose some characters in my diary might be deserving something. But I've been glossing over the specific challenges and sticking to the diary.

Argh! Diary Challenge, argh!
*headdesk: repeat*
Is anybody else struggling hard to keep up with their self-imposed schedules? 
Weekly updates are NOT my thing. i wonder why I even try.

Weekly updates are hard. I make notes but I write my entries in one night, mostly. Those are the times I hardly get any sleep and I seem like a Zombie the next day.

Weekly updates... I can never, ever do them. They are so hard!
I just realized that I never really did any of the monthly challenges. I suppose I'll have to do June... but how to get Keri something that she has deserved for a long time?

Does that mean:
a) you have no trouble with your schedule
or
b) you have a topic?

I don't think I would ever update weekly... that would just about kill me  Twice a month works...
And I'll brainstorm some, if you'd like!

So far, all my pleas for discussion topics came up dry, so I'd be very happy.
So, am i the only one updating weekly?  
I'm not even competing. *headdesk*

I've got a topic for discussion.
How do you guys go about jumping ahead in time with a diary format? I need to jump ahead a couple of years and I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it. I do know though that if I keep documenting every mission my character ever had, a. he'd get bored, b. so would my muse I'm really struggling with this one, so would like some input. I've already done a couple time jumps for just weeks at a time, but I need to move years. And another question, how can you do action from a diary pov? It's not like the character can whip out a journal and just start describing in the middle of it, and it's never as exciting from a post occurrence pov.

Well, it all depends on how good the character is at telling what happened LOL
I'd think Qui-gon would be a good story teller

Say he lost his diary and just found it again or something. he can then skip over the passed years with nothing much but highlighting the most important bits.
That's what I'd do.

If someone can arrive to tell her that.
Jinngerbread, I'm not too sure how to answer that. Maybe he lost interest in writing in his diary for a bit, or forgot to write in it? Or, as Lanna says, lost it.
