Does Anyone Keep Journals/Diaries?  

I've tried to but i always end up quitting. I have read some stuff that I've written in the past and it is amazing to see
things that I have written before. I do like to write but I guess I am not discipline enough to write in a journal daily.

I have given up the journals so many years. many kinds of reasons.by the way your photo is so sexy.

Not really everyday.Writing our lives and feelings down in print,does something to the human spirit,I'll keep doing.

Yes I keep a diary. I have kept a diary since I was 8 years old. I like to also keep mementos in my diary such as dried flowers, photos, letters, ticket stubs, etc. I like to write poems in my diary and my prayers to God. I have kept diaries and journals to keep track of my feelings and events that have occurred in my life. Sometimes it is too painful to read my past diaries as I have gone through some sad times and wrote everything down so that I could cope! There are a lot of happy moments that I recorded though. It takes discipline and dedication to maintain a diary but so well worth it!!

Yes, I keep an electronic journal. I started it back in August of 2001. Since I'm always on the computer, it's easier for me to type my journal entries when I get up in the morning, or when I think of it throughout the day.

I've formatted it so that when I print it out, it has a table of contents and chapters.

The great thing about an electronic journal is that you can do a search to go the an exact date, phrase or what ever search criteria you use. The other cool thing about it is that I don't have to worry about where it's stored. I back it up onto a disk every so often so that I don't lose it. It's currently about 1,000 pages.

On occasion I add pictures to the journal entry to further illustrate a point I'm trying to make or an emotion I'm trying to convey. I started the journal using Adobe Framemaker (Microsoft word starts to choke when it has too many pages to keep track of).

I think every writer should keep a journal. It's great for story ideas.

i used to keep a diary when i was 12 and i had it until i was 14. that was where i confided all my fondest adolescent memories, including my first puppy love, first kiss, first time to cut classes and what-have-yous. unfortunately, my brother saw it (without me knowing) and read everything inside and showed it to my mom! my mom learned about my mischiefs and got freaking mad at me! since then i never kept a diary anymore. now, if there are any important events in my life, i just note it down in my filofax and in the calendar feature of my cellphone.

i do i keep a diaries and things like that i like to write about what goes on in my life and what i have seen
