ORIGINAL: RiotGirl

Who is required to write in them and what by chance do you write? (no not asking for personal info.. just general ideas) What do you think they do? Is it beneficial to you? Do you like it? Do you feel freedom of thought? Do your Dom's/Masters red them and how is that?

this slave is required to write in her journal at least once a week, but may write in it more often if she feels the need. it helps this slave look back on where she came from, where she wants to go and where she is now in life not just as a slave but as a person too. this slave sometimes finds it easier to write her feelings than to speak of them. sometimes this slaves thoughts are so many that she can't concentrate and so writing helps her free her mind of worries, fears, limits she has discovered, things like that. Master has read this slave's journal and she knows that whatever she writes in there she is not to be punished for because this is what Master told her.

there are times Master confronts her about something He has read and it's not to punish her but to see why she didn't tell Him why she was feeling the way she was or why she did or didn't do something she should or should not have done.

this slave hopes this helps you a bit and that you find the answers you seek.

I like the "idea" of a journal.
It means that the sub who is writing it has a ernest interest in the ""Dom"
It also allows the sub to see where they have come from and where they want to go to.
Think of it more like a "dear diary" that is shared with ones "Dom".
What is in there should stay just between those two.

I had a potential sub start one and was to write in it everyday.
She "had a problem" doing it after a while and that told me that if she was not willing to do a task that simple that she was going to have problems doing anything else.

I also think that the journal should remain the property of the sub at all times but open for inspection and discussion by the Dom at anytime.

I have a journal and yes my Master reads it. It's hard sometimes because he doesn't want me to write it to him, yet I wouldn't we writing it if not for him. There are times when I don't want to write something in there, but I try to be a good girl and do as I'm told. :) it is handy at times because sometimes there are things that are hard or embassing to say.

Before I became a Domme, I interned for a time as a submissive/slave. I was required to keep a journal. My Master told me to write my thoughts, my feelings, what I had learned each day, five good things, five bad things each day, etc.

I found that the act of keeping a journal focused me on my submissiveness and my duties toward my Master. Now that I am a lifestyle Domme, I require My slaves to keep journals as well. When I read back over My writings of the time, now, I can see how My mind began to enfold the concepts, to internalise the experiences of being a sub. I re-read them from time to time in order to get in touch again with the slave mind, the slave heart. I also talk to My slaves and ask questions. I never read their journals, just as My former Master never read Mine. The journal is not for Me, it is for *them* and for their improvement and self-understanding.

all My slaves and My self keep daily journals and have for over 30 years now and EVERYTHING goes in them. We exchange them I give them Mine and they give Me theirs on My anaversary and it is an established ritual in Our Home and We all read them so that We can work on whats needed to strenthen Our commitments and relationships and to fill the needs that might be lacking and full fill each others desires more fully and to also see and gain strenth from each others words. I take great pleasure in reading over slaves of the pasts journals as well as those whom where near and dear to Me and now passed and I wouldent know what to do if I could not read and write something daily in My life and about My life. When I turn 60 I entend to write a autobiography of My life, if I make it that far. And Im sure that the words of the journals will be a big part of this undertaking. They are great teaching tools as well when new slaves come and old slaves give their journals to a new slave to read to learn the ways of the living and such with in My Homes JMO
