RE: Writing, Privacy, and the Chilling Effect of Surveillance - Is Someone Reading Your Diary?
I used to keep actual journals as a kid/teenager...now they're long gone, and that's ok. They were mostly full of things that made me angry. Now I have a new philosophy. My husband once said, if you don't want someone to read it, then don't write it down. It's simple and effective. 😊
It sounds like you're from the Stephen King school. "A writer's notebook is the best way in the world to immortalize bad ideas."
But what about exploration? What about experimentation, and rough drafts? Do you just burn them when the final copy's done?
Haha only if they're cringe worthy!
