LadyHugs -> RE: What makes up a journal (10/1/2006 8:14:32 PM)

Dear mystique2003, Ladies and Gentlemen;
A journal can be seen like a diary. As a Owner, I wrote a journal as well. When one writes to the journal, you write to yourself.
I would also consider a slave journal a window into the slave's spirit and emotions. I expect the slave to pour out their thoughts and feelings, no matter how ugly. It is not all about spelling, perfect letters and form. If it rambles, it rambles.
If there is a writer's block, I recommend picking five things that may be considered negative things that you experienced, such as; I had to pick up some trash from the hiking trail because somebody wasn't tidy and would hurt animals. The hairstyle you tried turned out awful, etc.
Then, I would write about five positive things; for example--I helped a little old man with his groceries, I found a good book, etc. You will find that you (in general terms) do make a difference every day.
You could always draw pictures.
Journals can keep details. Can record future doctor appointments or dates that are important. Journals can be a form of venting and just as much giving you a dialog with yourself. Sometimes the questions you ask of your journal, will provide the answers. It can be a scrap book. A flower can be pressed into it's pages and the story how it got there can be the topic.
Just some thoughts.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs
