Stumbled across a video of RC Waldun, a wonderful guy who makes videos about writing and reading. I enjoy watching them and sometimes find new, interesting ideas.
In the latest one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyZFHGj5DVQ) there is a very interesting idea about difference between journal and a diary.
Journal is a log of your personal thoughts and feelings, which is self-centered and probably not interesting for other people.
Diary, on the other hand, contains a coherent story about your day. It takes more effort to put the story together, but it pays off because you flex your writing muscles, essentialy.
I am thinking about keeping a semi-public diary here. The “semi” part refers to a smaller audience on this platform, which is a good thing, really.
