Why journal

[meirwen_1988]

I've been working on a project now, trying to set up a journaling unit for my Fall semester students. As part of it I'd like them to read about why journaling can be a choice, not an assignment, so I was hoping some of my fellow bloggers would post (either as comments to this post, or in their own journals) about why they journal, and maybe about how they choose who gets to read what they write.

I'd like to be able to cut and paste parts for my students to read, though. I would give authorial credit to your LJ name, in which case I'll use Anon.</>

Thanks.
