writing as a punishment? oh the horror of it all!! ~giggles~ although i have to admit that writing the same sentence 1000 times would probably make me think twice about repeating the offense again. humming the Jeopardy theme while an implement is being selected does sound rather amusing and tempting though!! lol i've been asked to write a short paper before as part of a punishment...but never to write lines.

as for keeping a journal. i, personally, don't have one but i can definitely see how they would be helpful when it comes to communication in a relationship. whether it is a journal for her eyes only...as just a way to get out pent up emotions and feelings, or a required journal for the Dom to read regularly. either way i can see how it would be beneficial.
