In reply to my journal - a survey, posted by octopusprime on December 19, 2003, at 11:15:43
* who keeps a journal?
I do, too.
* is there a specific writing routine (in terms of days/week) that is both sustainable and useful?
Generally, I write something every day or every few days. I tend to write more when I'm feeling bad than when I'm feel good.
* while i generally write whatever i feel like, is there any sort of useful program for guiding yourself through a series of questions?
I write what I feel, but there are guides available. It helps me to write what I want as opposed to specific guidelines.
* am i the only one that keeps old journals but never reads them?
I keep them around... really not sure why as I don't tend to read them either.
* is it helpful to read what i wrote 5 years ago?
It isn't for me. I am helped more by the catharsis (is that spelled right ???, if not "emotional enema" might be a good term to substitute) of the moment.
