Journaling journey

Here it is. I dug up all my journals - 34 in all, two I'm currently working on and including two "originals" with locks and everything. If you're counting there is 6X8.5 inch booklets with a hundred to two hundred pages each, I typically only write on one side of the page...not front and back. With an average of 125 words on a page, that's a whopping 400,000+ words of wisdoms. Or something like that. Ha ha ha.
They began in 1989 where I roughly wrote 8 pages of "Dear Diary, nothing happened. Love Kathy"... then I erased 23 pencil written pages with an eraser! Whatever it was, only two to three hand written lines on the page, I was committed to it being gone! I begin again and 1990 with another random 8 pages about a fight with a friend, a trip to my dad's house, then I don't return until March of 1991 when I'm in the sixth grade and had my first kiss, I also happen to mention the Desert Storm and Iraqi War. But in case something happens to all the history books and the internet, don't count on my diary's to rewrite history or anything. Ha ha ha. Then I'm MIA until 1994 when looking back on what I had wrote 5 years ago, I quote "I knew nothing back then!" I tell myself. I'm sure you can hear the laughter from my closet now.
I can't wait to read more. I don't know if I'm happy I wrote it down...because I obviously forgot it all and may be that was a good thing. Among my journals were roughly eight books I had half started since my teens. As a child I wrote, illustrated and finished three books; one about babysitting, one about having my own band and the last one was about a romance.
The only 3 I liked out of the 8 I started later in life were all as well, all fiction and all very different. One as a romance novel, one is a thriller and the other is a comedy. I sure am eclectic! Motivated yes, creative yes, focused...I struggle with that. Once I have an idea the door opens and everything comes out at once. Hence the reason for half started books laying around. I have since determined to finish my last three favorite and most promising books. So stay tuned!
