That's a great idea to blog lists! And it's neat that you put everything in one notebook

I pretty much use one notebook at a time, recording notes from sessions with my writing coach, random thoughts, blog posts, lists, ideas for organizing my memoir, revelations, etc. Reading through it always gives me fresh perspective as I reflect on what I wrote. As far as #3, I am going to start blogging my lists sometimes. This post is timely, as I came across this excerpt from Joan Didion earlier about keeping journals. (WordPress won't allow me to paste it here; I'm also using a smartphone. ) thanks!

That's great, Jackie!

Thanks, Orly. No one thing fits everybody. If someone threatened me with death I MIGHT could fill out one of those character interview sheets some authors love.

I have a crazy love for journals and notebooks. Walking into Staples is the kiss of death for my credit card. I've discovered, though, that I can't "journal" - I want to, just can't. I stare at the page and bore myself out of writing. 🙂 But I do keep notebooks for craft related topics and will even attempt WIP journals.

My husband has always kept a journal, but I've simply jotted down thoughts on scraps of paper. In the past three years, I have attended several workshops on journaling. Now I'm keeping a journal and doing a 'happy dance' each time I use an idea in my current manuscript.
