Journaling

One of the cornerstones of training a sub for Me is journaling. I have My sub journal often about many various topics. My sub responds best to specific instructions so usually I provide a topic for each journal as well as bullet points of areas I would like to be covered in that entry. Sometimes however I will provide no topic or just a jumping off point and let him come up with the rest. Now granted when I give him less instruction the journal entries are not as long or complex. However it is a good test to see where My sub’s mind is. What he is thinking about.

Recently I assigned him a journal with the first sentence being “Mistress I want you to know….” With no other direction other than I want it to be personal. he immediately began asking for more clarification or guidelines, did I want it to be something kinky or straight? How personal would I like it to be? Etc. To which I replied simply that is up to you. He expressed concerns that I may be upset by what he would write to which I assured him that he should still write it and send it to Me.

I am very happy to report that he rose to the challenge quite well. I will not share what he wanted me to know as it is very personal. but that is just the point. It was personal. Very much so. I am glad to know that W/we are building a basis of trust that hopefully will serve us both.
