Hi all, now I have had my journals scanned onto a disc, I have the originals back but they are now loose pages bound together in the books with elastic bands. My plan was to shred them, that was the whole purpose of having them scanned. Now it comes to, I am reluctant to shred them. I am finding I still like writing in my paper journal and am reluctant to get rid of the old ones. So now I feel I have wasted my money or is it a good idea to have scanned copies aswell as originals? Privacy is still an issue by the way.
