Today, we're going to talk about how to more creative in your journal.

Ever read a book or watch a movie where someone discovers an amazing journal. It's filled with funny musings, sketches, mementos, etc. It looks like something just begging to be read.

Well, whether or not you want anyone to read your journal (I for one, don't want anyone to read mine!) you might want to make it enticing enough so it's readable.

But sometimes, even in our journal, we get stuck with the fear of the blank page, and we can't seem to write anything. 

Or we simply list out our day...which can also feel very repetitive. And we don't want that.

So here are some ways to make your journal a little more like the story of your life and less like the story of blah...

Your journal could be a collection of details about what happened during your day if you  want it to be that, but it does not have to be. You can take some of the fantastic journal  writing prompts available to you via this site, or others. 

A great prompt will ask a question you might not have thought about, or might have, but didn't want to go there.

Some prompts will be more creative - along the lines of a story starter. These are great ways to boost your overall creativity.   

You can add pictures, either from magazines or your own. Sketch something - who cares if you're no Van Gogh. 

You could also write down lists (10 things I hate about you, 10 best things about vacation, 20 great things about getting paid, 10 best books you've read so far ...you name it you can list it)
