When I first started playing D&D in early 2010, I volunteered to take campaign notes for our group (I was running a PC, not DMing). I sent out an email after each session with a link to a Google Docs document where I was keeping a campaign journal, written from my character's point of view (although there wasn't anything like an internal monologue from him - more of a recapping of what happened as he observed it). I really enjoyed it and would frequently refer back to it. Some of the players read it and and the DM sometimes did, too, but I'm sure not everyone read every update.
Once I took over the DM chair, no one else stepped up to write anything, which I'll admit was disappointing at first. But it made me realize that, well, I was the only one who really cared about that sort of thing (which made me a pretty natural fit as a DM, I suppose). I generally start off sessions asking the players for a recap, and I help out as needed (which tends to be pretty frequently). I'm okay with that in the end, though - I respect that in between sessions the players really aren't thinking about the game the way that I am.
