The following quote is from Seven Stones to Stand or Fall by Diana Gabaldon, “Besieged.” Copyright ©2017 by Diana Gabaldon, all rights reserved.

“‘What did you mean, Tom? About my mother leaving her story behind—a book of some sort?’
‘Well, I don’t know as whether it might be a book,’ Tom said dubiously. ‘It’s not one yet, but the servants say she writes some of it every day, so sooner or later…’
‘She’s writing a book?’
‘So Dolores said, me lord. It’s in there.’ He turned and lifted his chin toward the secretaire that Grey had seen his mother use—Christ, had it been only this morning?
Consumed by curiosity, Grey got up and opened the secretaire. Sure enough, there was a small stack of written pages, neatly bound with blue tape. The page on top was a title page—evidently she did mean it to be a book. It said, simply, My Life.”

[> I've thought of doing this from time to time. My grandparents and their parents left behind fascinating journals of every day stuff. I'm sure they thought at the time that no one would ever want such rubbish. -- kgp, Tue, May 10 2022, 7:12:17

[> I love this, I try to journal but I'm terrible at keeping it up, but I try, and I've often thought about writing down more. It's been a hell of trip so far *G* -- Cait, Wed, May 11 2022, 19:12:14
