When I was a teenager, I kept diary. It helped me a lot in observation, in thinking and in writing. Some of the plots, and people in the diary later became materials for my composition backgrounds. In spite of the tight schedule and heavy homework, I believe keeping diary will do good for us. It will be a precious part of our life. Do you keep diary?

I keep a diary, but not as regularly as I would like to. I used to post a lot of blogs, but I really need to get into the habit of posting them again. Writing is good, because I love reflecting on the past.

Since i am lazy i don't have a diary.i did have one when i was a kid, and now looking back at it is funny.When we where kids the world was a different place that's for sure.I like writing, and sometimes i write just to vent,but it's not a diary or anything.A diary for me means commitment to write on this piece of paper what happened today and what i've thought today..and for me writing everyday just doesn't work...it's passion vs obligation...i'm just too lazy

i used to keep it in a exercise book. One so normal that i hope my parents would over-look it. HOW wrong was I. I realized one day that my mum has been reading my stuff. And i just threw that book away totally. And then i resorted to blogging instead. One that i'm VERY sure my mum will never come across because she isn't tech-savvy. But i gave up after awhile. Because i'm just broadcasting to the entire world.

I used to keep my diary because I don't have a place to write on. But since I have a blog I am no longer keep my diary for myself but let everybody read it as well. But lately I was thinking of starting another diary because I think my handwriting become really terrible because I type too much and never practice in writing. So yeah, I will keep my diary again.

Yes, I did keep a diary when I was younger too. It has develop my writing skills a lot. Now, I am making a blog about my daily life. It is important to write about your experiences in life and how you deal with it and it becomes mre interesting when others can read it and interact with you.;-)

Ever tried before when in elementary school, but didn't keep it up. After reading detective stories, I torn away the diary. Those detectives search for diaries kept by the victims or murderers. Read everything on the diaries, then kept them and brought up in court. Seems very horrible to have the whole world reading your deepest thoughts.

Yes,but not everyday,just when you feel that you really need to write ot talk,write it down,you will feel better! Do not say that you don't have time,if we can have time to sleep to eat,then we should have time to do something for our feelings!

i used to keep diaries before but when i got my first electronic diary when i was in college, i geared towards using the electronic instead of the traditional. then came the computer which was later on replaced by my laptop, then the blogging.
