Writing In Public Places

I loved how intimate this chapter was. I felt like she was talking directly to me and telling me secrets about here private live of journal writing (or how it's really not private at all). Bonnie was the first writer so far in this book that talked about the issue of the disappearing act of writing on real paper. The way she talked about the pros of real hand on pen contact and the issues revolving around a generation relying only on typing actually made me want to throw out my computer and pick up a pen and paper. Most of all though, I liked how she described all the places she has written in and how you don't always need a quiet place and a comfy chair to produce good writing. It seemed like she was writing about a lover or a best friend, someone she cares for and will do anything to be with. I really loved the passion I felt in her prose.
