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.

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...
