Journal Quotes

Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it mysterious to begin a new journal like this? I can run my fingers through the fresh clean pages but I cannot guess what the writing on them will be Picture Quote #1

Then what shall I write? I can’t just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I’ll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing Picture Quote #1

Putting words on paper regularly is part of the necessary discipline of writing. A journal is a great way to do that Picture Quote #1

Keeping a journal of what’s going on in your life is a good way to help you distill what’s important and what’s not Picture Quote #1

I do have a journal, that I write all my thoughts in every day. So that’s kind of something. I also have a burn box where I write secrets down and put it in a box Picture Quote #1

It did not take long after the rise of the commercial printing press before someone figured out that erotic novels were a good idea... It took people another 150 years to even think of the scientific journal Picture Quote #1

A journal is more than a memory goad. It’s therapeutic. The simple act of opening a notebook to put words down stills the crosscurrents of worry, drawing to focus the essential though patterms that best defines us, intersecting those thoughts with the condition of our life at that exact moment. A journal is one of the few anchors the human condition allows us Picture Quote #1

Writing is an outlet, but it’s not an outlet of escape. People keep a journal when they want to escape. I write to rub my face in it Picture Quote #1

My comedy notebooks are filled with random journal entries. It’s all the same. I can look back on old joke notebooks, and know exactly what was going on in my life Picture Quote #1

Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving Picture Quote #1

I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys. My one saving grace as a writer is that, if I’m having trouble with the novel I’m writing, I write something else, a poem or a short story. I try to avoid writer’s block by always writing something Picture Quote #1

But, as all scientists know, there is a time lag of 12 to 18 months between the time a manuscript is submitted and the time it is published in a scientific journal Picture Quote #1

My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent Picture Quote #1

I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind Picture Quote #1

I remember telling my creative writing teacher that you never want to have a journal, because if you lose it, then someone’s going to know all your secrets. And then she stopped using a journal, but I always write everything down... Anytime I travel, I try and fill up notepads Picture Quote #1

I didn’t have my own journals, but my mother kept a journal while I was in the hospital, and my father wrote newsletters to keep friends and family updated on my progress Picture Quote #1

Keep a gratitude journal. Write down at least three things a day you are either thankful for, made you smile or genuinely inspired you Picture Quote #1

It is common, and encouraged by many journals, for research to be judged by the impact factor of the journal that publishes it. But as a journal’s score is an average, it says little about the quality of any individual piece of research Picture Quote #1

Don’t use your mind for a filing cabinet. Use your mind to work out problems and find answers; file away good ideas in your journal Picture Quote #1

I throw ideas out into the open when I really should just be writing them down in a journal Picture Quote #1

Journal what you love, what you hate, what’s in your head, what’s important. Journaling organizes your thoughts; allows you to see things in a concrete way that otherwise you might not see. Focus on what you think you need to find in your art Picture Quote #1

In the novel or the journal you get the journey. In a poem you get the arrival Picture Quote #1
