Private vs Public Writing

Private writing to me is a informal approach to writing. It could be anything from a diary all the way up to a personal letter. Private writing is loosely organized and their is no formal structure to the piece as it jumps from topic to topic. But when I think of Public writing I think of journal articles, news papers or magazine articles. Public writing to me always has some type of topic and is usually widely distributed in public reading places and areas. I find a lot of public writing to have very little substance and sometimes quiet boring. If I had a choice I would generally choose private writing or public to read. I find that private writing is a little more intimate.
