Yeah. I was a writing fetus!
Poor Mom.

That's an amazing
milestone, especially for one so young. =)

inspired. My first diary was a little tiny book with
"1965" on the cover, with like three or four lines
a day. Over the years, I destroyed a couple volumes in fits
of adolescent angst- and not-so adolescent angst- but
I've kept writing pretty consistently. I started calling
it a "journal" instead of a "diary"
because the word journal sounded cooler.

imagination was sparked. I wondered how I could go about
keeping my journal on the computer. I don't remember
when it was that I discovered David's wonderful program,
but I got hooked pretty fast. What pleased me the most about
it (still does) was how a writer can personalize it and make
it their own.

Fifty years! Whew! I'm trying to figure out how to
celebrate such a milestone. I mean I think it's a big
deal even if no one else does! And I feel like maybe I
should do something cool to commemorate it, but I
haven't the foggiest idea what that would be…
