For years I tried keeping a diary with little success. About four years ago I started my first electronic journal and continue to update it to this day. Other blogging projects have had fits and starts, hot and cold periods, but overall I find blogging/electronic journaling more engaging than writing by hand. Perhaps it’s the modern samizdat aspect of blogging that is so attractive and the ability to link to different types of media, different sources of inspiration, different ideas what makes it so dynamic.
