Something about having a physical record gives me comfort."</i>That describes me perfectly. I began keeping journals in my early 20's. I'm now 64, and despite having written professionally for many years, I still seem to journal the same sorts of things -- the ordinary ones that no one would care about, not even (after the fact) me.<br /><br />I used to rough out articles and essays by hand, but have used a computer since the early Macs. Still, my Moleskine follows me everywhere, to record the mundane, yet strangely intimate details of one life. “Though I now write for several blogs, once kept a livejournal, and can type faster than I can write, it’s always been a notebook and pen that I come back to.

At times I do a lot of first and second drafts of poems in them, save interesting quotations or thoughts, and keep track of recommended books, cds, and films. Sometimes I'll use a notebook to brainstorm feelings when I am unsure what I feel or what the feelings mean. But maybe a year will go by when i've hardly used them at all, then suddenly there I am with one notebook in my purse, one by my bed, and another in the laptop bag. I save my old ones because I hate to throw all those ideas away. I’ve been in more of an on/off relationship with notebooks.

For me, a notebook or journal is the perfect receptacle for all the "deep" insights I have that don't really have a place anywhere else in my life.

They are all horribly embarrassing. Even the journal I finished just a couple of months ago is embarrassing but I'd never throw them away because they are me, for better or for worse, and they are a record that I am and I lived.

God, it was embarrassing!! But in a really entertaining way. Oh, I just found my high school/college year journals last weekend when I was home. God, it was embarrassing!!
