I would agree with Didion, that keeping a notebook is a good way to keep in touch with oneself. Although Didion states," That how reading her notebook would have no meaning to anyone else who read it." If one were to share a blog that has no real meaning or way for others to relate then the blog would go unread.
I can understand why she would find that writing down daily occurrences, such as a diary would be boring. I agree with her approach to her daily entries. To write down things as she saw them and to put her own twist into some of her ideas.
I individually have never taken the time to keep a notebook of my daily thoughts. Personally if I find something is important enough to write down then it will be kept in my memory. Although I do like the idea of keeping a way to collect my thoughts. As it is my first blog (this one) it has caught my interest. The social media has made it much easier for our entertainment and ways to stay informed. Our social media today eliminates person to person story telling along with roomers. I believe notebook keeping has changed over the past 40 years as its more for entertainment now a days then self recollection.
