rebeccmeisterThis morning I came across this site, a blog where each entry is a scanned-in picture of a handwritten statement.
I write occasionally about the tension between my digital journal and my paper journal. The above blog's journal-keeping method seems like an interesting compromise. More of the writer's personality shows because we can see quirks in handwriting and illustrations along with the actual entries. But on the other hand, virtually all of my lj content is public (I have a big mouth), while my paper journal is 99.9 per cent private (to the best of my knowledge; the most perfidious betrayal of my trust would be opening it). On one of the lj communities, someone commented that in reality, electronic journals are much more secure than paper ones, and yet they remain in my mind so much less personal.
