When I was young, I kept a diary for about 10 years and I had to write in it every day. Even on days when nothing seemed to happen, I made myself think of something to put in it.

I read my sister's diary when I was 7. She was, I think, 13. It was awful to read it.

I've been keeping journals since I was 13.

I've been keeping diaries for 27 years.

I never kept a diary, but I wrote detailed notes of my travels.

I don't keep a diary or a journal. Sometimes I'll send emails to friends, and that's a way of recording what I was thinking at any given time. But I've never been a journal keeper.

I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.
