How to start a diary by daggerquill

"Writing in a diary is therapeutic, especially if you can't find a person to talk to; a diary is always willing to hear your story."

How I did it: If something seems intimidating, break it down into small, easily-managed chunks. I started a "diary" on twitter, which requires you to keep the entries very short. It was helpful for me; I was concise, was able to write about a LOT, and could conveniently update it. For someone worried about any of those things, maybe a drawn-out diary, but a more concise update format such as twitter would be useful.

Lessons & tips: Don't worry if you skip a day. Take notes in another notebook, etc. if you need it. Just keep with it, and remember that it will be a great way to express your feelings and remember things later.

    Twitter is an amazing tool for someone without the time to sit down and write full entries in a journal. And it’s just as effective at making me feel as though I got everything off my chest. Maybe it will build into something further, but I’m fine if I just stick with using my twitter (privately) as a diary.
