Starting when I was 13, I kept a journal (I called it a diary) in a spiral bound notebook and I wrote in it everyday. Some nights, around midnight, I would speed-write to meet the deadline. I kept my diary throughout high school. In college I wrote in my diary every once in a while, but after freshman year, I think I pretty much quit altogether. I must have 25 notebooks, 70-150 pages apiece, filled with all that writing. There was a reason I did that before. I thought writing, in and of itself, was useful, informative, and meaningful. Not so sure anymore. Haven't been for years.
