I write what happens to me every day as my diary. I don't write them on paper, but I typeset them in a word-processing system (soft diary), so **I can simply edit them and add/remove anything at any time**.

I know the application of post scriptum in letters which contains information that one wants to add to a letter after finishing it. But I'm wondering if writing post scriptum is technically sound after each entry of my diary. I doubt about it because I can edit an entry and add what I want to say to it without writing a post scriptum. However, editing needs some extra effort to find the right place in the entry for the insertion of that new piece of information. Additionally, sometimes I'd like to emphasize some important information, and post scriptum would be a good spot to put that information.

So, is it a good practice to have post scriptums in my diary in the way I described above?
