Journaling


I've rediscovered the joys of Journaling.  Journals are awesome!  They can be anything from a word document in a secret file to a bound book with a colorful cover.  I have tons of them scattered in my office.  I've been filling mine lately with thoughts I don't want to share publicly, story ideas, observations and more.  Journals can be therapeutic or they can set you up for organization.  I even have a journal for my novel that includes inspirations and outlines.  I encourage you to discover journaling.  If writing every day is too overwhelming, start small.  Write once a week and then increase as you see fit.  For me, I journal when the mood strikes.  It could be every day or every few months.  And the most important thing to remember:  DO NOT SHARE ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO SHARE.  Journals are a personal thing and you shouldn't feel like you need to share them unless you want to.

Happy Writing!

I hope you all are enjoying "The Charm or the Strikeout" as much as I am enjoying the process of creating it. Installment Four should be arriving very soon.
