I used composition books or spiral bound notebooks. I'm the type that can't write in anything fancy. It sort of paralyzes my creativity. <br /><br />I've gotten better on that front, though, Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16579641591987288245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-39867920725826040732009-09-11T09:19:54.004-04:002009-09-11T09:19:54.004-04:00I have a separate journal from my Filo, which I us...I have a separate journal from my Filo, which I use to write things that I have done and/or feelings about different events in my life. I do not write in it every day, mainly because there doesn't seem to be enough time. I do make time at least once a week to write in it. But sometimes it's hard to remember everything I want to write about though, getting to it (most times) only once aWellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-38035269818058890842009-09-11T07:48:04.342-04:002009-09-11T07:48:04.342-04:00I meant to add, what I like about the day per page...I meant to add, what I like about the day per page format is that if I don't write that day, I can go back and fill it in later. And, it doesn't prevent me from writing in subsequent days. Back when I used a blank book, if I didn't write for a few days I would have a backlog. With the dated day per page diary, I can wait until I have the time to sit and fill in the details of a Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-49077963054778515342009-09-11T07:45:06.456-04:002009-09-11T07:45:06.456-04:00I have written in diaries/ journals for years.

Later when I traveled and started living overseas, my journals were filled with what I did and places I went. When each of my children were born I started a journal for each of them detailing cute things they did, and later said, as they grew from babies to kids.<br /><Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550291806241735598noreply@blogger.com
