Journals: A Great Way of Writing

Journal, diaries, Idea books: they are all the same thing.
A place where you can write your ideas and feelings down,a place where you can be yourself.  Personally I keep a diary where I write everything from my ideas to what happened that day. If you are just starting a diary/journal you most likely feel like quitting sometimes.  Trust me I know how that feels and I have some advice: If you don't feel like writing one night don't because you most likely don't have anything to say. If you force yourself to write every night it might become something like a chore you hate doing.  This year my summer was very boring and I remember skipping weeks at a time. But my fall has been more exciting and I've been writing almost every night.  Also remember you can be yourself in your diary because NO ONE should look at it without you saying so.   I'd say try a diary out because it's a great way to enjoy writing.
