The Writing Journal
What is it, and why can't I do it?
Writing journal, my love, my enemy, why must this be so hard?
Maybe you've heard of a writing journal, maybe you haven't, to most people it seems to be a pretty useful tool.
What is it:
A writing journal is a journal that contains ideas, thoughts, observations, and pretty much whatever else you want for writing. It's a place for all your ideas to be found in one place.
How to use it:
You bring it with you everywhere, work, outings, even around the house, it's supposed to be on you at all times. You can sit and watch people in a park and write down ideas for character appearances, habits, anything. or you can use it for when an idea pops in your head.
Finding the right one for you:
If you're using it right, you will need multiple over your life. So if the first one you buy ends up not working right its okay. You'll want one that is easy to carry, and can fit in a bag or purse you use often. Though most people use a physical book, you can, if you would prefer, use your phone. other features you might want your journal to have, which is just personal preference, bungee strap, pencil holder, holding compartment, and the list goes on.
Why can't I use it?:
I have a problem, I can't use it to save my life, though after writing this post I'm going to try again. The hard thing for me is that I don't randomly get inspired for writing, I have to already be thinking about it, or writing or talking, things don't normally pop into my brain randomly. But if you can get in the habit, and actually use it, many writers have benefited from using a writing journal.
