And finally, surrendering to awareness of my oen limitations, I wish to write like I used to once again, and so out goes the one page a day rigid limitation diary with leather cover, and in comes the scrappy blank A4 notebooks. FREEDOM RETURNS! Eureka! Thank you
This is great because it helped me to reflect on the journal entries I've written. But also, I tore many and tossed them. So what's left are the emotional stakes left from those moments like peaks out of valley's. I'm writing a memoir, first draft completed. The juicy stuff is happening now. 😊
Wonderful! It sounds like you've had a breakthrough!
Thank you so much ! I've been journaling for years now 'the daily download' i love that you called it that. But recently i started to journal about the chapters I'm currently working on and it really helps. Awesome input like always. love you and everything you do 🥰
Thank you so much for watching! Journaling about the chapters you're working on is an amazing idea.
These are really helpful tips. Journalling before actual writing of the book allays fears and gives more clarity.
I want to ask, "Must your journalling make sense?"
"Is journalling the same as free writing?"
Thank you.
Absolutely! Journaling is so beneficial to the writing process.
Great questions! Journaling can be whatever you want it to be. Sometimes your purpose in journaling may be to get everything out of your head and onto paper, so it doesn't matter too much if it makes sense. If you're journaling to remember or reflect on past events, it may be more important to you that it is coherent.
Journaling can be the same as free writing. Free writing is "stream of consciousness" writing -- writing without filtering your thoughts or self-editing.
I just started journaling and it’s great to unleash the creative power
Absolutely! Get those creative juices flowing.

Have found, as you have, daily journaling essential to my creative process. Love your emphasizing its benefits.
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing!
@@knliteraryarts You are welcome!
Thank you. I've been beating myself up over fact that I started daily one page diary writing at start of this year, then stopped. I got rigid over this. But in the past i wrote freely every day, i have dozens of illegible scrapbooks containing 'daily downloads', boring stuff, dreams at night, whay i did, feelings, i just chucked the whole lot in there. Then when i wanted to 'Be A Writer' i stopped writing! 😂
🤣 We hear ya! Just keep writing 💕
@@knliteraryarts And guess what? I switched off the sillyphone for two hours and WROTE! Catching up up, remembering days, joining dots. Hemingway tip to leave some piece of writing unfinished in order to return to it next day. I had to make myself stop writing. Need to return to my memoir, only done the opening chapter so far. About 6 weeks paralysed not knowing how to proceed. Must get first draft done asap. Inspired now
Great Advice! Thank you
You are so welcome Steven!
What is the daily download?
Hi Amanda! A "daily download" is journaling to get everything out of your head for the day so that you can move into your day with a clearer head.
