In some ways I agree with Didion on keeping a notebook in the aspect that it is for keeping in touch with yourself and remembering events. As for how someone would record the events can be interpreted in different ways, such as Didion with different stories than from what actually happened. That maybe her mental cue to an event that stimulates the memory, for me getting the most accurate account of events helps me to remember what happened. I do not keep a notebook but should as my life is ever changing and so many memorable moments are occurring. I think a person's notebook should be private and only for the intended reader such as the writer. I use Facebook but I do not put on all my daily events on there, nor do I put private personal memories on the web for everyone to see. A more personal way to remember important events throughout the year for me is to scrapbook with pictures. Pictures help me more accurately remember the event.
