How convenient that the password was the exact same gibberish!<br /><br />@Meredith - I know! What we considered important enough to chronicle at the age of 6. My youngest diary is from third grade.<br /><br />@Joanne - One day when I'm stuck for ideas, I'm totally using the diaries for inspiration!Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-59182699049920976912012-01-01T22:48:00.307-05:002012-01-01T22:48:00.307-05:00Donna, you're so lucky!

Still have one notebook left from high school, which brings back some awful and wonderful memories. <br /><br />Happy New Year!Joanne R.

It's fun to read through them from time to time. :)<br /><br />-MeredithMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06080155950229034983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-1552379898410091142011-12-30T21:08:00.422-05:002011-12-30T21:08:00.422-05:00Oh man, this is so appropriately timed!

I just cleaned the office recently, and found several old (MS/HS aged) notebooks filled with story fragments...let's just say it's good they're buried in the office. I will give you this gem of an excerpt:<br /><br />"I was at a hacking site. I pushed a combination of keys to bring up a Russian government site. I clicked on enter and stood up, wanting to stretch. My nightshirt fell past my knees to its original length. I sat back down and looked at the screen. The words PASSWORD REQUIRED were flashing on the screen. I typed in a long code of gibberish and hit return. I expected a white screen with the words Access Denied to come up, but that didn't happen. Cool!"Sara Kankowski DeSabatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305302500835213896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144844961496270733.post-34286170219893950812011-12-30T06:18:47.250-05:002011-12-30T06:18:47.250-05:00Oh my lord, this might be one of my very favorite ...Oh my lord, this might be one of my very favorite First Novel Club posts ever. Thanks so much for sharing your journals! I think mine had a very similar vibe.
