I am a huge journaler... I ask myself what I want to remember about that photo/activity 5 or 10 years from now? What details am I most likely to forget? And then I write from there.
Generally I try to choose my pictures for a page and type up the journaling within a week...I save that as a .txt file. Then when I'm ready to scrap (sometimes years later) I know what pictures I want and the journaling is done and ready to go.
Unfortunately started this system in 2010, so for 2009 all I have picked out are the pics. (I call it 'the lost year'...) Not having the stories written totally kills my mojo in wanting to scrap those pages, but when I do go back and work on them I try to keep my journaling present tense...that way all of my books read the same...
HTH!
