Journals is what I do and keep it is the love for the written word which keeps me writing be it e-mail letters or blogs. A long email letter is forbidden in my world as I have come to learn. Short and precise and to the point the wordy essay or e-mail never goes over well. Take the Gettysburg Address one of the most famous of all speeches was short and to the point. Those few words told the way time was at that time. There aren't too many Americans that get their faces carved into the side of a mountain.
