What do you like in a session write-up?

[Koloth]

IMO - session write ups should include
The RL date of the game session and the in game start date and end date
a brief recap of the session's events
notable things lost, destroyed or used up
notable things found and who in the party has them.
XP, character build points or similar awards.
Perhaps things like the next game time, food plans, etc.

I think for the table and/or the GM this (what you wrote above) is absolutely perfect.

Because I enjoy writing I do a summary of the major plot points including anything especially interesting or funny. I post them to my blog if anyone wants to read them. I know at least some of my players read them.

If my players who are artistic provide drawings, I include them.

I think this point to the disconnect - what are the logs for? I write my logs for entertainment, to piece together events into a narrative, and to maintain a history of the world and campaign. A purely factual account wouldn't accomplish this, IMO.
