Private Stories

mamamusings: stories i won't tell

Like liz, I find some events in my diary are not fit for public consumption, as described in "stories I won't tell." I have considered setting up a private MT server for these private entries, but that seems like overkill.

I find for myself that blogging allows me to journal events in a way that is much more comfortable than with pen and paper. I think that is because I can edit the entries (although that creates an ethical dilemma for some), I can use a keyboard & spellchecker(if I want to), and the result is just plain easy to navigate (no hyperlinks in a leather bound volume).

Likely, I could come up with a software solution if I thought about it a bit more. Currently, the private thoughts go into a text file, with date entries. Some entries have XML/HTML like tags for semantic markup, like <RANT></RANT>.
