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 got one of those five year ones and write an entry once I'm in bed each night. The habit is tied to going to bed and the fact that each day has its own space - I don't want to leave gaps.
