... do you find that when you go back and re-read entries your current memory of that event is quite different? I started keeping a journal because I tend to remember things differently than how they actually happened (one of the main reasons I write race reports) because I have precious little shortterm and longterm memory. When I go back I am quite amazed at how the actual differs from what's in my head. Is this normal, or just me?

I don't journal but as far as writing race reports sometimes I can't remember most of the race. :umno:

I think this normal.
I was looking at my entries for my 10 day trip in Canada in July and it seem my descriptions were more vivid than I remembers them to be now.
Even my race report now seem ho-hum but I remember every detail whilr running and writing the report.
My comments in getting lasy in the city don't seem as fresh now that the vacation is over.

They aren't usually different in actual detail but more in my perception at the time vs. my perception of the event later on when I am re-reading, and not in the throes of a trauma, or whatever. A lot of times, the stuff I was writing about has either resolved itself by the time I re-read or has at least become not as critical as it was when I wrote it. I often laugh at my own excitablility.
