In todays digital world most people write everything using some type of electronic device.
I remember when I was a child, I always had a pen and paper in hand. I was always writing something.
These days, I do admit to writing more stuff on my computer. But, if you look around my home, you can see that I still love to use the old pen and paper, too.
I have journals for different things. I have a journal for writing my poetry and short stories. Yes, I still do that from time to time. I enjoy sitting outside in nature and there is nothing I love more than to find a nice shady tree to sit under and write.
I have dream journals, where I write down my dreams and what they mean.
I have spiritual journals. When I meditate or something SPiirual happens to me, I write it down in detail.
Does anyone else journal? What do you journal about? Do you journal on the computer or do you use pen and paper or a notebook? There are even journals you can buy, do you use that type of journal?

That would be a journal, keeping track of things in a book is what a journal is. I am sure some people would differ with me on that point. They may call it a diary or a log.

I do not journal but all articles and majority of posts are written pen on paper first.

I still do things that way myself. I do know many online writers that just write, right on their computer

It depends on what you are writing. I have actually journal one of the novels I am working on. But, it is about a personal journey.

@whiteream I guess when you can pen out your journal into a novel or a remake of something cool, then that makes it the more special..

@whiteream I like how writing by hand into a journal or typing into a computer can change the way we write. In journal writing have you ever tried printing and drawing things on pages as ideas come forward?

I jotted stuff down on paper all the time. Sometimes, an idea will pop into my head and I want to write it down right away. I have notebooks all over my house.

Yes I do. I have a book of poems I wrote back about 10 years ago.
I have notes here in the office and at the "to do" corner counter.
I write someone letters in prison.
I just write on the computer and pen and paper.

I still have a journal; but it is a mix up of different things; from passwords; to health tips I read from the net; some prayers; etc. I am disorganized!
