I read a story last week where a guy argued for throwing out all your old journals. Hell no. I've needed them even for therapy stuff. I also get lots of memoir subjects from them. Ha.
I am terrible with planners. I buy nice notebooks and I have one with an amazing leather cover and brown pages but I don't write in it anymore because I did mess up a page. I'm going to try to figure out how to extract that page. It was used for poetry and prayers I write to Mother Mary.
I have a particular thing I use regular composition books for because I have OCD and need them all the same. Now that it's harder for me physically to write I've had to start doing a lot more typing.
I thought I was the only one that smelled my books.
