what to write?

[CherryPop22]

hello,
Like many of subs do as far as i can tell i have to do a journal every other day. The problem is that i am really open with my daddy and any feelings i have i let him know so i really don't have anything to write in my journal. I always tell daddy what i liked and or didn't like and my feelings on it. So what does one write when there isn't anything to write?

If he gives you permission, maybe try some of these as writing prompts:

~ fantasies
~ daydreams
~ assignments given and completed (with progress along the way)
~ limits explored
~ goal setting
~ personal growth projects
~ thread here you posted to and then explain your thoughts more
~ other sites you find or pictures you see and like

just a few thoughts...

If you truely have nothing to write about, just write about your day. How the traffic sucked on the way home...

My Domme just likes for me to write about my day, in general. Sometimes I work on stories, sometimes, fantasies, sometimes just a random thought about something I read and explore it within myself. She doesn't really care, so long as there's something there for her to read.

Thank you everyone for your input it has helped a lot

I share your frustration, have been writing for a few weeks and it does become difficult. Today for example I was going to call but then thought if I spoke there would be nothing to write so I wrote instead,

One of the responses mentioned thoughts during the day, that is what I have been doing. Will put the time of the entry and anything that has happened work or personal wise.

Thank you everyone for your input it has helped a lot

I'd like to extend my thank you's to all that have given My cherrypop ideas and encouragment. With us being in a fairly new online relationship and working towards realtime, it's my intent to help my babygirl open up to me and writng is simply one tool.
As she's mentioned, we chat daily and we share everything with each other. I do think though that when one uses writing, sometimes it's possible to express thoughts, ideas and concepts better. I always encourage her to write what she feels and thinks and not to worry about me "grading" her on what she writes or how much she writes.
Once again, W/we thank all that have posted.

I have to completely agree that it is sometimes easier to open up more freely when writing than when talking. Sometimes it is as simple as the "anonymity" of writing (particularly in a journal) ... you are able to express yourself freely without monitoring your audience's reactions.

Thank you everyone but it seems i wont have to worry about journaling for a while me and LovingDaddy are taking a break so journals are gone for awhile

I am sorry to here that, but hope it is all for the best, Cherry.

However, if you don't mind, the thread idea is a good one to keep going. As a submissive, I found journalling was exciting in the beginning of a relationship when there is so much you want to say and don't, whether because of time or trust or whatever.

Then, for me, it became a grueling excercise as I struggled. One thing that I tried, was using a small journal to keep in my purse and I could jot down every time I thought of him. Perhaps only the time, but generally would include something about the train of thought.

Any other ideas for when journalling seems difficult? As Cherry suggests, the openess in a relationship can sometimes make writing things seem a bit unnecessary.

MissTaken,
I also thank you for your well wishes. cherry is an awesome girl. Speaking for myself, writing helps me. I can focus my thoughts. Sometimes things that I'd not even thought of during the course of conversation with another. Even though cherry and I are taking a break, I have taken up writing in the very same journel that she did for me. I will use the journel the same way I planned to with cherry, as a tool to get my ideas, thoughts and reflections down. I hope this makes sense and/or helps
Regards

re: Journaling

sigh...

I have always found writing in my journal difficult. Why most Dom/mes feel that its the most wonderful task to be working at I haven't a clue...shrugs.
In the beginning of our D/s relationship I wrote about my struggles with submission. I tried to include my innermost thoughts and feelings about U/us and where "this path" was taking us as a couple. I have always found it difficult to express or even discuss negative emotions...ie. anger, jealousy with my Dom. I thought myself as being weak and petty.
It was very, very difficult to write about him, knowing he would read it later. I was afraid that somebody's feelings might get hurt. Master rarely brought up any personal issue that I had written about unless he found it absolutely necessary to do so. He knows that I occasionally obsess about things and can blow a situation way out of proportion. Those issues in particular have to be discussed.
So in essence what I'm trying to say is...the journaling was helpful in getting me to open up. But more often than not I had nothing to write about, and felt the task silly and a waste of time. After 5 years together we more or less talk about things face to face and I don't do any journalling.

(Note): Not writing in my journal was just asking for punishment, usually a paddling which Master judiciously doled out.

Feel free to comment or criticize....
