Journal Writing

As we all know writers block can be a horrible thing! We need ways to jog our minds, our creativity. This is where journal writing comes in.

1. Write about anything that interests you.
2. Write ideas as they come to you.
3. Don`t worry about spelling, grammar, organization, etc...
4. Write 3-4 times a week, for about 15 minutes, as much as you can.

You can write about your reaction to a book, the news, a piece of art, another person, a situation or life in general. There are no rules as to what you can or can`t write about or how long it needs to be. Any limitations are set by yourself and need to be over come to open you mind.

A journal is meant to be your self expression. There is no need to share it or even reread it yourself after you have written it. Burn it, file it away, revisit it, edit it, grow it, it is entirely up to you.

This exercise can be very helpful for writers block. Sometimes our minds are so cluttered with every day things that we cannot get past them and into our dreams. So write away, no need to hold it in.
