Bad spelling.

Also, this doesn't really seem to be interesting reading. Novels tell a story, but this diary seems to be more of a random blog entry than any fluid attempt at storytelling.

It isn't merely an issue of spelling, but of readability in general. The sheer amount of randomness makes it difficult to navigate, let alone determine what is important and what isn't.

If you haven't read this book, you should: it is Absolutely Normal Chaos by Sharon Creech (a very good author). The story is told "Diary" style. Please read this before continuing. I found it in the local library and it should be available to you as well.

I'd have to agree with Grif, It's just not readable and its not captivating i didnt even finish reading it because i lost intrest. Writing in Diary form can be hard for some people and i think with some pratice you could do a really good job.
