Too many details have faded away now.
Much unlike my stories. One was about my experiences during the war. Uncanny how much I remembered sooo many years later. Strangely now that it has been written down, it too has faded away..
Someone said it should have been written as it was part of history.

Good for you Zee Writing is fun and I believe a gift. Something passed on from my mom.

I was just wondering what magazine those stories are in? Could be an interesting read. But I'm betting you won't tell me...hmmmm?
not so much a diary, but a book where i write down something thats bothering or something thats pissed me off, then i return to it when ive calmed down and try put it into lyrics..

I began writing my journal back in 1990 when in furniture sales as a motivating factor which propelled me to high standards in my profession. After marriage, it became a relationship developement tool to track our progress. after years and years of writting in it every single day of my life, I began to use it to measure my success in life. Each year I thought I was doing well, or when I felt the world coming down around me, I'd go back to where I was and what I was doing on that date last year and regroup so to speak. make proper changes, or stirve to get better at what I was doing.
When my mariage began to slip away, I was so caught up in my ex-wife's affair that I forgot my journal, and after leaving her and migrating to Virginia, as I was unpacking, I found my latest journal, and found that I had not witten in it for a year to date. It blew my mind. Since then, I have written mostly about my business ventures, and returned to my journal being a motivating factor in my life, and not about life itself. My conquests, my failures, yet strictly in business, not love, nor life. I have found this to be more enjoyable to me at this point in time, and maybe the impact of not writing in it during my failure in mariage has me thinking one dimentional, when it comes to my journal. I can't say I'll ever conquer the fear of putting my romantic life back on paper, as it would probably be a much larger collection with the failures that have occurred since my marriage ended back in 1997.
somechick: If I kept a diary regarding some of the crappy things in my life it would've became a best seller.
I have never kept a log or diary, but I must confess, I have thought about writing a book ! I even have the title for it....The Wizard No One Knew!.... but there is too much shame involved and after all, I am not a wizard but a coward, even behind a computer! Besides, I would'nt know how to do it anyway's

I would've titled mine "If you know these formentioned people in my diary run like heck'.
Yes, I've kept one since I was in 7th grade. I haven't written in it so much lately, since my mom passed away. I guess I just can't get into it as much anymore. I've always encouraged my daughter to keep one too. I think she still does. It's a good way to go back through the different stages of your life & see how you've changed & grown. It can also bring back some great memories & make you laugh at things you may not remember until you read about it again!
