Notebook mania (Why it's so hard for me to post old journals)

This is a small sampling of my notebooks over the last 40 years. I write everything out in notebooks first, and then later type them in. This allows me to be very selective about what I post and do not post -- partly because I write everything that happens to me and almost everything I think.

I must have several hundred of these in various shapes and sizes, and about five or six full filing cabinets with typed in material -- novels, short stories, family stories, partly competed novels and such.
