I have a private on-line journal that my Master instructed me to start. For the most part, it's private even from him, though if I feel he needs to know something I wrote, or just want to share something with him, then I'll email him a copy of the entry. It's mostly just so I have a venue to get out my thoughts in complete privacy (though we have talked about the possibility of it being more public in the future. You might think that a sub shouldn't have anything completely private from her Master, but be assured that if it's anything "bad" or that's really bugging me, I tell him about it.

That said, it's not a daily thing by any means. I'm also not that skilled in verbally communicating my feelings all the time so, when something really makes me think, it's much easier to write it out. I tell you, though, if I didn't have it, I'm sure I'd have a lot less peace of mind just from the myriad of thoughts ping ponging around in my brain.

So...yeah. To me, it's definitely a positive thing.
