Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

Have any of you read the magazine "True Story"? When I was in my teens, I subscribed to "True Story". I really loved reading about people's lives. I do remember one story where a woman (I suppose a very young married woman) was invited to a "pot party". She was talking about how there were two different kinds of "pot parties". One of them consisted a person cooking in some kind of very nice cookware--the other kind consisted of smoking pot. I had no idea what she was referring to when she said smoking pot. Later, much later in life, I was more informed. I just know there were so many stories of heartache, I always thought I would write my story. I know I don't have a lot of time left--I have bits and pieces of a journal--here and there. My story wouldn't fit in a magazine--it would be more like a huge book. I am a people person; however, sometimes I think I am a loner. So, what does hat make me? Beats me.

True Story.....Brings back memories of my teen years. Modern Romance was another one. Then I discovered I didn't have to read these magazines-that I was LIVING many of the stories (This was in the 1950s and I was married young). They were good magazines for a teenager to read and helped make me a lifelong reader. I started reading comic books as soon as I could read, graduated to True Story and Modern Romance and then to real books. Being a reader helped me in school and college and now books take me to many places that I may never visit in person. I have found an article on line that I believe most older people would love. Do a search for "and then it is winter". It is very moving. I have been writing answers to some questions I wish I had asked my mother and grandmothers-so my descendants can learn a little about me and my life. It isn't a book but I wish I had something like that from people who came before me but they are all gone now.
