#44 Why Am I Writing and Who's Going To Read It?
In this episode we discuss diary and journal keeping and some common concerns an author may have. We read entries from two diaries; the first, from 1937, written by a woman losing her vision, and the second; by a very homesick college girl, where both women expressed their thoughts on what they had written and who may read it.
