Читать книгу Create Your Writer's Life: A Guide to Writing With Joy and Ease - Cynthia Morris - Страница 7

Go back to an old journal and open it at random. Let this process be loose. Spend some time reading through. Look for themes. Listen for your voice. Notice where you were honest with yourself and where you lied or stretched the truth. Do this even if you are the writer who starts a journal in a pretty new notebook and writes for ten pages or so then stops. Notice where you stopped writing.

Then, pick up your current notebook and write about what you discovered about yourself and your writing process. Ask yourself these questions:

•What do I write about repeatedly?

•How honest am I in my journals?

•What is the general tone of my writing voice? Complaining, whiny, hopeful, reflective, or something else?

•What information did I get from reading these journals that I can use in my other writing? What can I use for my life?
