151217 -    A diary is a book for fragmentary writings arranged by date. It can
151218 -    be used for recording in advance appointments and other planned
151219 -    activities, and/or for reporting about what has happened.  Diaries
151220 -    have evolved from business notations, to listings of weather and
151221 -    daily personal events, through to inner exploration of the psyche,
151222 -    or a place to express one's deepest self. Some people use the words
151223 -    diary and journal interchangeably, others apply strict differences
151224 -    to journals, diaries and journaling - dated, undated, inner
151225 -    focused, outer focused, forced etc. Some diarists think of their
151226 -    diaries as a special friend, even going so far as to name it.  For
151227 -    example, Anne Frank called her diary "Kitty".
151228 -
151229 -        (Annelies Marie "Anne" Frank (June 12, 1929 - March 1945) was a
151230 -        Jewish girl who wrote a diary while hiding with her family from
151231 -        the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II.  Her family was
151232 -        betrayed and they were transported to a German concentration
151233 -        camp, where she died. After the war, her diary was published,
151234 -        making her world-famous.
151236 -     ..
151237 -    The word diary comes from the Latin word diarium ("daily
151238 -    allowance", from dies, "day" - more often in the plural form
151239 -    diaria). The word "journal" comes from the same root (diurnus = of
151240 -    the day) through "journey".
151242 -     ..
151243 -    Sales of "page a day" diaries go back hundreds of years (Letts, for
151244 -    example, is over 200 years old).  At first, most of these books
151245 -    were used as ledgers, or business books.  Samuel Pepys
151246 -
151247 -        Samuel Pepys (February 23, 1633 - May 26, 1703) (pronounced
151248 -        "peeps", as his lineal descendants still do, although other
151249 -        modern relatives pronounce their name "pep-iss") was a 17th
151250 -        century English civil servant, famous for his diary.  The diary
151251 -        is a fascinating combination of personal revelation and
151252 -        eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague
151253 -        and the Great Fire of London.
151255 -     ..
151256 -    ...diarist that is well known today, although he had contemporaries
151257 -    who were also keeping diaries. (John Evelyn for one.---
151258 -
151259 -        (31 October1620 - 27 February 1706) was an English writer,
151260 -        gardener and diarist. Evelyn's diaries are largely
151261 -        contemporaneous with those of the other noted diarist of the
151262 -        time, Samuel Pepys, and cast considerable light on the art,
151263 -        culture and politics of the time (he witnessed the deaths of
151264 -        Charles I and Oliver Cromwell, the last Great Plague in London,
151265 -        and the Great Fire of London in 1666.). Evelyn and Pepys
151266 -        corresponded frequently and much of this correspondence has
151267 -        been preserved.
151269 -     ..
151270 -    Pepys also was apparently at a turning point in diary history, for
151271 -    he took it beyond mere business transaction notation, into the
151272 -    realm of the personal.
151274 -     ..
151275 -    The oldest diaries we have come from Oriental cultures.
151277 -     ..
151278 -    Pillowbooks of Japanese Court Ladies and Asian travel journals,
151279 -    being some of the oldest surviving specimens of this genre of
151280 -    writing. It does seem that around the turn of the last century,
151281 -    diary writing was for the rich or well off. Most literary figures
151282 -    from that time seem to have kept a diary. (see list below)
151284 -     ..
151285 -    In the 1960s Tristine Rainer wrote a book called The New Diary.  It
151286 -    was revolutionary in expanding our awareness of diary keeping as a
151287 -    literary genre. In it she identified techniques that people either
151288 -    use spontaneously or have employed in their daily writing to
151289 -    explore themselves and their experience of the world in which they
151290 -    live. The idea, as expressed with the title, being that a diary
151291 -    doesn't have to be a dry recording of weather or daily events
151293 -     ..
151294 -    In the 1980s and 1990s diaries, or journals, have become fertile
151295 -    ground for therapy. Many books have been published about how to
151296 -    write a diary (for self awareness, for finding your true self, for
151297 -    healing from any number of personal troubles). An entire culture
151298 -    has evolved around the practice of journaling.  There are many
151299 -    techniques to be attempted. (Many of these techniques enjoyed
151300 -    their first mention in Tristine Rainer's book.)
151302 -     ..
151303 -    One of the most tempting things about diaries is that writing one
151304 -    is accessible to anyone with a pen and paper. No education is
151305 -    needed. One doesn't need to know how to spell or use grammar.
151306 -    Writing a diary is something some people are driven to do, often
151307 -    as a way to put their existence into perspective. Too often
151308 -    diaries are perceived to be written only by teenage girls. The
151309 -    onslaught of diaries sold in "cute" colors with locks and keys
151310 -    helped this illusion. (Not sure when those became popular - 1940s
151311 -    or 1950s.) Nowadays, many people prefer the word "journal" so as
151312 -    to avoid this common misconception.
151314 -     ..
151315 -    In the years since access to the internet became commonly
151316 -    available, many online diary communities have appeared. Some are
151317 -    personal weblogs, also known as blogs. Some communities are small
151318 -    and merely offer a place to store your diary online in a private
151319 -    space, while others have become true communities offering
151320 -    opportunity for feedback and communication with your fellow
151321 -    diarists. Many of the people using these online communities are
151322 -    teenage girls and young people, who perhaps see them as a way to
151323 -    keep their inner thoughts secret from their families, while
151324 -    expressing and exploring their feelings and the experience of
151325 -    growing up. Other people choose to start up a diary in their own
151326 -    private webspace, and to maintain either a public or private record
151327 -    of their lives.
