Good for you.
I have kept some journals.
I figured that I have shelves of other people's work so why not keep a few shelves of my own. . A few years ago I went through my journals and extracted what I considered the intriguing descriptive parts.
I am slowly working on an article about journals as creative writing tools.
One thing I discovered in my mini-weed is that I was and am most creative when eating nutritious food. Junk food/sugar binges made me sleepy, dull headed or lethargic.
Anyone else notice that ?
