Oh. I answered the poll without reading the description. I've always kept a "writing journal" but I don't think I've ever been pretentious enough to call it a "writing journal." :P I just write stuff.

I have about a dozen different journals scattered about...
Every book you've ever read is just a recombination of 26 letters.

I have a kind of general journal, but I use that to write about my life, as well as ideas I have that don't fit as well into the literary category. Then again, I've had stories come out of the Socratic dialogue I sometimes work through in there. Inspiration can come from anywhere, really.

I keep one on me all the time not knowing when or even what I'm going to write. As soon as an idea pops into my head I take out my note book and jot it down and try to piece it with my other ideas to see if I can create something. I'm so scared of getting an idea and then realizing that I don't have a note book at all so I have like ten of them at home sitting on my desk for when I need them.

I want to start one but procrastination gets to me once I try reaching for a notebook. :(

I keep a writing journal. I find it helpful because you can look bàck at other poems and get inspiration. And you can also edit and stuffs.

The only stupid questions are the ones unasked.

I'm afraid you've gone mad, but I'll let you in on a secret, all the best people are.

I keep a few journals around for when I get that random burst of inspiration and I just have to write it down so I don't forget it
does that count? haha

Ish. I don't exactly keep it properly or regularly, but I do sort of have one.

we'll be waiting

Yeah, what in the world is a "Writing Journal"? I mean, I have prayer journals and devotional journals and novel note journals and random story journals and poetry journals.... but a "Writing Journal"? Just the sound of it makes me feel intimidated...
