Journals

[Unknown Member]

Littlelove When I started journaling I wrote about my day and how it went. I left a pad out that if I thought about something I wanted Sir to try and push me on or I had a problem and it came to me as I was cleaning I would use the pad to take note. At the end of the day before I went to bed I would take the pad and go over what I wrote and express my feelings about it in my journal for Sir to read. I would use my journal like a report. I would write my day’s events, how my day went, my feelings and emotions, my list on what I had to do the next day, my fantasy’s, how I felt during play and what I didn’t like and what I needed or would love Sir to do. I had a 4 tab binder so I could have sections all in one book. My days and feelings, My Fantasies, Our play and scene on what I felt or would like Sir to change or try and the Last Our Downtime. I did the downtime section because I couldn’t always remember what I wanted to talk with Sir about that I thought could help our journey or what I thought wasn’t working. This made it easy for Sir to read because everything was there in one book plus it helped us to see where we needed to change to grow or our weakness that we or I needed help on. It also showed us how much we have grown during our journey. We used it as a tool. I hope this helps lady.

I set mine up as lt suggested. Sir doesn’t read it but he knows its there. I do sometimes read him parts during downtime. It might explain why i was feeling off one day or just help to express something I find hard to talk about. I find my writing has slowed down. I write more when I’m unsettled. I do use the downtime section a lot because i will forget what i want to talk about or sometimes I only choose a few things as to not overwhelm him. So I will check off the things that we did get to. I really haven’t written much in the fantasy section and I probably should.

Thanks for the ideas ladies.

My master has me journal every weekday. I can write whatever I want in there, and I do. If I’m struggling with something it goes in there for him to read and then we discuss it at our weekly down time. He also has me read books, write notes on each chapter and do reflections on each that make them relevant to my and our lives. This way he gets to “read” the book, know my opinion on it, and we discuss. He uses my journal as a tool to help me grow and become better. I thought it would be weird at first knowing he would be reading it, but it isn’t, and its freeing knowing that he knows my heart and how my mind works. He never gets upset when I write about him, however even in there I’m respectful, even if I’m upset with him.

I began a journal shortly after my Sir and I started dating. Or maybe journal isn’t the correct word, it’s more a book of letters. Now that we have taken the step into D/s I have begun including that as well. I find it helpful to get my thoughts on paper and though He hasn’t read it yet I hope it will serve to give Him a direct view into my thoughts and heart.

I am quite a bit late to the discussion, but I have some questions about journaling and what format to keep. I decided to keep two journals for now, as we are taking our first steps down the road. The first is for me to just brain dump (work, kids, just everyday life) and the other is a downtime journal for me to discuss with Sir. I love writing in a physical journal, but with my Sir being a farmer/rancher he about to be starting his busy season and we won’t have much sit down time due to his work hours. I was thinking that since we won’t be able to physically be together that an electronic downtime journal that we can both access would be best. We could do a downtime call and go over what is in the journal and I can still go through the motions at home. Do you think the online journal would be beneficial, that way Sir can read it wherever he is and we can still keep our schedule? Or am I infringing on him by doing this while he is working?
