I certainly would love to read diaries about or from the Deep South, even if they are not written in suthen di'lect... ;-) "Dieu se rit des hommes qui se plaignent des conséquences alors qu'ils en chérissent les causes" Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet
As for diaries in the su'then dialect, I don't much do 'em. If you just read my comments with a characteristic extra long and and open-mouthed "i-i-i" sound whenever you encounter a long "i" in a word, you'll pretty much get the i-i-dea about how a lot of southerners speak, even when we speak "the King's English". Most other American dialects use an "ah-ee" sound when encountering a long "i".
You are much more likely to catch me doing a diary on some currently relevant science topic, or a heart-felt plea in support of a particular idea or issue. I'm not prolific, but I try to be thorough. I guess I'm something of a perfectionist and don't like to declare anything "finished" enough to let it go... Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead
