Here is what she wrote in her diary on the 7th of August,1943.
"A few weeks ago i started writing a story, something I made up from beginning to end, and I've enjoyed it so much that the products of my pen are piling up."
She wrote diaries everyday, every night in this two-year period when she and her family are in hiding in Holland. Writing diaries became her habit and it is Anne’s best friend in the war.
