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." I just write stuff.
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.
"As for me, all I know is that I know nothing" -Socrates
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 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
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...
A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity. -Kafka
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. — Mark Twain
