I have been keeping journals since I was 11 - written and visual. Some boxes I have shlepped with me from NJ to NY to CA to HI to NJ and now to PA. Only burned one box of rantings about some deadbeat boyfriend. The rest I keep for me, but I do write for others as well, like my blogs. Now to get people to read them! Hi Pam,

Now to get people to read them!

This article is the single best expression of why I write. I have
read it several times over the past decade and am always
moved by it.

To write is to live according to one’s terms.

“Writing has been so important in America, I think, because communication is the soul and engine of democracy. To write is to live according to one’s
