I can barely write a grocery list, let alone keep track of my daily thoughts! ;) I have such great respect for those who do and I think it's a great exercise in getting to know yourself, not to mention writing great 1st person characters (i.e. YOU!).<br /><br />Great Post, Marissa! :)Hilary Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18199287020561210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-70898009638708504932012-11-13T10:36:04.913-06:002012-11-13T10:36:04.913-06:00My journal is in a sketchbook (no lines) and doodl...My journal is in a sketchbook (no lines) and doodle and past in all kinds of interesting writing-related stuff, as well as writing about my day and my writing ideas. I don't work in it every day, but on the days that I do, I feel a tiny bit of accomplishment from the thinking that I do to fill that writing space.Andrea Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250681746122381149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-36477285405445625772012-11-12T18:13:53.082-06:002012-11-12T18:13:53.082-06:00I'm Canadian and was smiling to see you mentio...I'm Canadian and was smiling to see you mention it.<br />I've never read L.M. Montgomery's journals, but am intrigued. Is this the same Montgomery that wrote "Pat of Silverbush" and "Magic for Marigold" ? I loved those books as a kid.<br /><br />I'm late to the writing world I'm afraid. Lots and lots to learn. I know I ought to journal...but there's something about journalling that scares me. I can't stand being alone with my thoughts (depressing? dwelling? worrying?). I know I "should". Maybe a resolve for the New Year!<br /><br />Good post.<br /><br />JillReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201214153283847258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173408054965817352.post-6772005140471994812012-11-12T16:15:59.659-06:002012-11-12T16:15:59.659-06:00I never journaled much, but I did write other thin...I never journaled much, but I did write other things.

I still crack it open when I have bursts of emotion which I don't want to share for public consumption. <br /><br />As for what my journal looks like, I am partial to ones with quotations printed in them. Oftentimes the quotation will set my mind spinning and fun things are written.Michael G-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947421844294471304noreply@blogger.com
