I have really focused on this over the last three years, filling six journals and 3/4 of the way into my seventh. It became easier if I remembered to take it with me all the time—in high school I carried it to class with my textbooks, and now it’s always at the top of the pile on my desk. I have developed my narrative skills and arrived at very interesting psychological understandings of myself through writing. Also, I love going back and re-reading entries I’d forgotten about.
