Writing energy goes toward the novels, the blog, and the notebooks full of ideas. That's probably as close to a journal as I get nowadays...Jess of All Tradeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226845737117403585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-62372465199564017022010-02-01T15:57:23.457-07:002010-02-01T15:57:23.457-07:00No, I never kept a journal... unless you count my ...No, I never kept a journal... unless you count my memories.

Then anything that doesn't "fit" in the book right now goes in there. As well as little notes to myself about where I am in the WIP and where I'd like to be.<br /><br />Thanks for the smile, I love what your daughter wrote!Jackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-72078004440542687822010-01-31T12:22:54.436-07:002010-01-31T12:22:54.436-07:00*waves* Hi everyone!!!

Yes, my little one is precious and squeezy and oh-so-lovable. :D Today I taught her how to make a list with bullet points so she's not smooshing everything together.<br /><br />I too carry notebooks everywhere. The problem I have is remembering which notebook I wrote the all-important idea in. And sometimes I write on random things, like at the Jazz game the other day. I wrote on the backs of the paper where I'd printed up my e-ticket confirmation. There was this most interesting family sitting in the row in front of me. A dad who kept cheering for the away team, and his seven kids who cheered for the Jazz. He had six sons and one cute red-headed daughter. And, um, I even took a picture of him with my cell phone. *blushes*Suzette Saxtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401538008029407734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-83210104397775262352010-01-31T10:57:38.355-07:002010-01-31T10:57:38.355-07:00How.

I think I have about three that I kept from the time I was thirteen until my senior year in high school. And... my mother found all three. :)<br /><br />Most were about boys, friends, school, and teachers, but some of them were fictional stories I composed and had forgotten all about. It's interesting to go back and read them now and see where my love for writing began. And I sometimes wish I still kept one too. But just like Shelli, I think my blog counts, right? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018235841365360426.post-80842056298630476082010-01-30T00:06:11.406-07:002010-01-30T00:06:11.406-07:00Blog=journal is not sad.

He was three months premature. I was never very good at the whole diary thing, but I did keep writing in it for at least a few months.
