Question by Bluebeard: I have been a "journal" keeper since about 1960. I write with real fountain pens in Boorum & Pease record
books, 300 pages. I have filled about 28 of these books. I do not write about extremely personal things. I know that, in the future when people read them, they will be disappointed that I did not. My question is --- What are your journals like? What do you write about? What kind of paper? Pens? I am sure that most modern journal keepers use the computer. It is tempting for me to change over to this form, but, to me, a journal should be in the person's own handwriting. However, I believe that with in three more generations, very few people will know how to read cursive handwriting, and then, who would care anything about what I wrote. Is there a "national" group of journal keepers, that share ideas about the "habit?" And that is exactly what it is, a habit. Even I do not seem to have much interest in reading my journals from many years ago. It seems to be something that I MUST do right now, and it seems to fade away after the thoughts are written. Anyone else feel that way?

Answer by Steve D
A national professional journal is a magazine targeted at professionals in a certain profession (business, medical, etc.) and distributed nationally (as opposed to regional).

"Training" would be a national professional journal - targeted at professionals in the training profession.
