Writers Tool Box: Journals

So I was cleaning out my purse tonight and started laughing when I found this. It's a character sketch done out on a napkin. I believe that was also the day i swore i'd start carrying a notepad with me at all times. That was before November and i haven't broken that promise to myself yet.

I've found that journaling can be a powerful tool. Whether it's the daily weather reports or just feelings and thought bubbles on a page, journaling captures your thoughts at the moment. It's something that an work for a lot of people, to help chronicle their thoughts and feelings, and keep a record of all of it. Things change constantly and in an instant. Sometimes it's good to be able to look back on how things were before 'Event X' especially if it was life altering. Journals = good writers tool
