Journaling Quotes : pic 001550441
A journal of the 'subjective' kind I have always thought foolish, as nurturing a morbid self -consciousness in the writer; and yet, alone so much as I am, it is well to have some sort of a ventilator from the interior.

Today I start a diary; it is against my usual habbits, but out of a clearly felt need.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000466213

it is a very strange habit to write in a diary.
Not only that I have never written before,
but it strikes me that later neither I,
nor anyone else,
will care for the outpouring
of a thirteen year old schoolgirl.

Take out another notebook, pick up another pen, and just write, just write, just write. In the middle of the world, make one positive step. In the center of chaos, make one definitive act. Just write. Say yes, stay alive, be awake. Just write. Just write. Just write.

Journaling Quotes : pic 000358492
There were times, in the beginning, when I used my journal as a wailing wall, but I learned not to immortalize the darkness. Rereading it was counterproductive. What I needed was a place in which to collect the light.

I've never managed to keep a journal longer than two weeks.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000350111

Journaling Quotes : pic 001033098
I think my love of journalizing my life comes from my mom.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000108719

everything and everyone
to stay with me.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001537150
Before our vacation, the idea of keeping a diary and scribbling my thoughts on paper seemed silly and stuck-up. And besides it was usually something I thought only unhappy girls did.

Write a true, careless, slovenly impulsive, honest diary every day of your life.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001276394

Journaling Quotes : pic 000231696
I took notes on the people around me, in my town, in my family, in my memory. I took notes on my own state of mind, my grandiosity, the low self-esteem. I wrote down the funny stuff I overheard. I learned to be like a ship's rat, veined ears trembling, and I learned to scribble it all down.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000072689
Write even when the world is chaotic. You don't need a cigarette, silence, music, a comfortable chair, or inner peace to write. You just need ten minutes and a writing implement.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000288934
So the point of my keeping a notebook has never been, nor is it now, to have an accurate factual record of what I have been doing or thinking. That would be a different impulse entirely, an instinct for reality which I sometimes envy but do not possess.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001858968
Writing surrounds us: it's not something we do just in school or on the job but something that is as familiar and everyday as a pair of worn sneakers or the air we breathe.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001778052

I write to find out who I am.
I write to understand things.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000677230

Journaling Quotes : pic 001499687
I gotta take notes when things occur to me.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000150759

Pivotal to a happy writing life is a practice of daily personal writing.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001786234
Memory ... is the diary that we all carry about with us.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000763752
The reason why I spend so much money for my journals is to press me to find something valuable to put in them.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000808702

Journaling Quotes : pic 000855183
Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001743978

Journaling Quotes : pic 001774175
My diary became more than a place to record daily events. It became a friend, the paper that it was made of was ready and willing to accept anything and everything I had to say.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000745353
I always have Moleskine notebooks on my desk. I am a big journaler. Every day I write down where I went, who I spoke to and what it was all about. Richard Branson told me to do that.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000604188
Every great thinker keeps a journal, you know.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001151858
When I can't write, it depresses me.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000123252
My wife Cecily Adams was dying of cancer, my daughter Madeline was struggling to overcome an autism diagnosis, and my father was dying, all at the same time. Writing the journal was a cathartic experience, and an extremely positive one.
Journaling Quotes : pic 000935721
One of the things that has always motivated me to write is the desire to get it out and look at it in an objective way, so that it doesn't cause me any serious pain by staying inside.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001172938
I like to feel that every day or most days, I do a little bit of writing. I am a creature of habit in terms of the way I live.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001395184
When I write notes in my journal, I'm just trying to scribble down as much as possible. Later on, I decide whether to follow some of those first impressions or whether to abandon them.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001746584
One advantage in keeping a diary is that you become aware with reassuring clarity of the changes which you constantly suffer.
Journaling Quotes : pic 001345328
I think it's fair to say I am a writer. I'm using this journal to get better: to hone my skills, to collect details and observations. To show don't tell and all that other writerly crap.
