I quite like journalling and have been doing it for years. Off and on at times. I like that I can ramble into it without worrying about anyone judging my thoughts. Was yours a stream of consciousness journal, I wonder?
@SW-User There's that thing, about looking back at the days when "one knew everything"...! How naive we are when younger, and I guess we all have a lot of wising-up to do till the end of our days!
@SW-User Right now, today, I am getting my first novel, which I finished eight years ago, ready to put on Amazon and the other ebook sites before I start my fifth novel. I'll let you know. I know you don't read mysteries but I don't know many people who read at all.

@hunkalove I would definitely read anything you've written my friend!
I've been keeping journals for a number of years now. It is interesting to note the changes over the years and the memories. The most valuable thing from them has been compiling medical histories.
In the past when I have journaled, it was because I was going through something painful at the time. It was good to get those feelings out but I don't feel it necessary to reread those journals and revisit that pain.
@SW-User That's the joy of writing for yourself. There's no pressure; no deadline; no one demanding to see the next chapter. It's yours to do when you have something you want to record, and to leave alone when you don't.
@SW-User I collect bullet journal things...you can get really creative...use a graph-paper book and do little arty drawings, change your "fonts", make lists, etc.

@cherokeepatti That's cool! I will have to give it a try!
