“I sometimes start keeping a journal about the writing process itself. Particularly when I get the ideas, and I am trying to brood over the chaos phase. In writing a novel, you really have to brood over a lot of chaos of ideas and possibilities.” -Sue Monk Kidd
I spent a good chunk of my day thinking about my story and what needs to be worked on next. Some of it was just re-inspiring myself after getting frustrated with it last night. I came up with some new ways to look at my story. And the journal really helped me think the story through.
Do you use a journal to work through new ideas with your writing?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
