More on Rereading Your Journals

I came across this news story over the weekend. While some of what the author has to say is a bit out there for me, I did like what she had to say about journal writing and rereading your journals.
Like this gem:
The art of journaling, it would seem, is to become successful in managing to stay out of your own way.
And:
The fact is, no one need read your writing for it to have great value. All pretty girls don’t have to become beautify queens, or movie stars. And all people who make note of their personal human adventure do not have to become professional writers. But it is important for you to re-read your own stuff at least every couple of years.
The article is definitely worth a read. Please leave any comments you may have in the comments section below.
The term I use for things like that is “whifty,” sometimes spelled “wifty” — something a bit less concrete than “new age,” if you like.
Hi Velma,
Thanks for sharing your word. I might have to take that one as one of my own, too. It definitely describes what I was saying about the article.
