Yes, do it every day. You won’t regret it. I have been keeping one for more than 3 years now and it’s a real pleasure to look back on and see who I’ve met and where I’ve been in a visual style. I post selections from my journal every day on http://www.karensblog.com and encourage everyone to sketch daily as often as they can. Here are some of the books that I’ve filled so far …
In 2003 I started drawing every day and I haven’t been disappointed. About six months later I started posting my daily drawing (and/or painting) on my blog and I hope I never quit. It’s a wonderful practice that helps me appreciate the world around me more while developing my art skills.

It was worth doing for the writing credit, but not for the money. Long hours and practically minimum wage fees by the time I was done. I’ve had two books published and would do it again if it furthered my career goals in some way. Not a way to get rich, for the most part.
