What do you like about this subject?  I have enjoyed journaling for many years. There is really no special technique to it, but still questions are often asked, and I enjoy responding to them.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I am doing Volume 97 of my journal now - I hope to make 200!
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  My sister taught me to keep my journals lively and interesting by including photos, cartoons and other artwork I admire, recipies I mean to try someday, pithy sayings, etc. I also do some work on my novels in my journal. Truly a journal can be almost anything but most of all it should be fun.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  I watched CourtTV and CNN through the war in Afghanistan and kept careful notes on what was going on. Who knows? My journal may be "prime historical material" one day!
