Easy Homeschooling)Children want to be just like their parents and your writing will inspire their writing, so let your young child see you journaling, even before that child writes. Rather than being a chore, you will find journaling to be multifaceted and rewarding.
1) Always date your writing. You may want to publish your journal someday!
2) Write daily. Make it a habit.
3) Fiction becomes nonfiction. There is a creative power in
spoken and in written word.
4) Write solution, not problem. Keep it positive!
5) Do Rapidwriting - no need to think, edit or rewrite. Let it flow. Save editing process for when you publish your journal!
6) Don’t think any dream is too big. With God all things are possible (Matt. 19:26).
7) Be specific. If journaling goals, get a clear picture of exactly what you are reaching for.
8) Make lists, including lists of questions about your life.
9) Sometimes list negatives and then turn them into positives.
