I have used a journal for that purpose for many years though with all the blog writing I have done this year the journal has been sadly neglected. Having written thousands of student reports over the years, not to mention other writing demanded of classroom teachers, it is liberating to write for myself and what interests me. I feel I have so many stories and experiences as yet untapped that writer's block should never be a problem. I think I will run out of days in my lifetime before I run out of ideas for writing, a happy situation to be in. I too use writing to clarify what I am thinking on particular issues.

The only answer I've been able to come up with so far is me. Whether it's verse or an article, I write mainly so I can understand what I'm thinking about or feeling. I always assumed people with the same interests come to read what I write. At work it's a different story. I know who I write for there, so it's easy to slant a report to the intended audience.
