I wrote longhand in a blank book for years. Then I paid a lady to type them up so that they were in the computer. Now I write my journal on the computer. I’ve tried journaling programs but my advice is to avoid them- just use a regular word processing program. The main advantage to writing your journal on a computer is that it’s more private if you want it to be. You can assign a password to a document if you want. Also you can more easily make copies. Journaling has helped me to become a better writer. Now I only journal when something stressful has happened in my life- I save my writing energy for my novel.
