I think it's because I feel like I don't have anything interesting to say - no wise words, crazy discoveries, or grand epiphanies. Is it worth it to journal every day just for the sake of it? Every pedantic thought or regularly-scheduled-and-expected-to-happen things that happen? I doubt anyone will write a book about me, and I have no plans to write a memoir, so it all seems like just a big waste of time.
On the other hand... I love seeing journals filled with pages of my handwriting. I love flipping through and remembering random things that happened or random thoughts I had. There's something so romantic and pleasurable about pages bent and worn by ink. And I like having one consistent place to keep random thoughts, ideas, doodles, lists, etc.
So maybe it's worth it after all?
I certainly have enough journals to keep me occupied for awhile... Some were gifts, some I bought because they're just so cute, and some I've had for 10 years! Some have pages torn out of them because I didn't think they were good enough or because I wanted to forget what was written on them. Some are stashed under my bed and some are stuffed into closets and drawers and I'll probably never see them again...

Do you keep a daily journal? If so, how do you stay motivated to write every day?
