I have a Substack called One Could Argue where I do just this — jot down my thoughts about whatever books I'm reading and movies I'm watching to force myself to practice writing and editing. The next entry will include mention of The Aeneid of Virgil, which I just finished reading yesterday, and the Billy Wilder film Double Indemnity, which I recently watched for the first time.
