Diarists

May Sarton is a favourite diarist or journaller of mine. She has soothed me into many a good night's sleep. I wonder what she would have made of blogs. I expect she would have been very good at it. She realised the value of writing a journal rather than a daily diary. It is too easy to get discouraged and give up if a couple of days are missed. I fell foul of that in the 1970s when I decided to try a page a day diary, instead of my usual A4 journal. It was useless. Far better to go back to writing when I felt like it. Then there can be no such thing as writer's block.
