I am looking to start getting into this. But I have never enjoyed writing. I also feel a little iffy knowing that my diaries are sitting around somewhere in my room and my family can find it at any moment. If I were to type it would be faster, more secure as I can encrypt it, and it would not get lost as easily as I can upload the encrypted file to a cloud.
However, is typing any less effective at making you feel better than writing?
I am in the minority here when I say neither. I do technically have what one might say amounts to a dream journal, the "catch" being this "dream journal" would be a favorites folder that exists on some art websites I use. When I dream, you may notice the art that most resembles the dream goes in it. I originally made the folder as a "remind me later" kind of thing but it turned into its own thing.
