Diary or Journal?

[Nebulous]

Keeping a detailed account of one’s life, whether the writing is meant for the writer’s eyes only, posted on a blog for all to see, or shared with a select few, is a common practice. Do you take part in it? Do you write for an audience or just yourself? Why? Have you become more or less active in chronicling your life as you get older?

No, I've never felt the urge to write. Besides, it would be depressing to read.

Mine would be too. Life is pain!

 

[Evil Eye]

Nope, not for me. I'll live my life without recounting it, thanks, if it's important I'll remember anyway.

Until your memory starts to fade.

Until your memory starts to fade.

Yup, leave no evidence!

Evidence of what? Your evil eye ways?

 

[Raven]

Not a life diary but I need to start a sleep and health diary.

 

[Jazzy]

I don't have a diary or journal and never felt the desire to write one either.

 

[LegendHidden]

I've never really thought about writing in a Diary or Journal..

 

[Soundless Voice]

I didn't ever have a diary or a journal to write in, and I never would've wrote in it anyways. I do have a journal app which I type in sometimes though, but I dunno if that counts.

When I was younger I used to write in my diary.

I haven't used a single diary in my entire life. And my life is so complex I can't even describe it in a simplified way.

Whenever I was younger, I found my restlessness was beginning to poke and prod at me to the point that it was becoming uncontrollable. I felt really frustrated, as if water was rushing against the doors of my conscious-thought, endlessly splashing against my psyche, but I found that keeping a journal was a good way to "open the floodgates" every now and again.

More recently, I have starting to write a novel called That Sammy Kid that will basically articulate how I spent most of my Senior year. Make no mistake about it, it will be billed as a fictional-narrative, however, there are conversations that actually happened in that book. In-fact, in one of my English classes, I had to write a Senior Project, which is basically a shortened version of a biography. I think that a lot of what appeared in there will find its way to the book. Not only that, but essays and poetry will also find a way to the book.

I look at it as a very personal introduction to anyone that might want to take a look at my works. I'll probably publish it for free on my website when it's finished and work from there.
