How to Come Up with Journal Writing Topics
Posted by

When you begin writing in a journal, you do one of two things. One, you are very excited and you start writing write away. You feel like you couldnt get everything down in one sitting and that there is just so much to say.
If you dont do this, then you do just the opposite. You are stuck. Youre lucky if you can get one line down. You sit there lost and stuck as to what to write.
If you are the second person, you probably experience frequent writer's block. The other person rarely experiences this, but even from time to time they do get a little writer's block. Having writer's block does not make you a bad writer.
There are so many different aspects of writing and writing ideas are only a small part. Especially when it comes to writing in journals. You need to come up with a batch of ideas for these moments of frustration.
First try just writing about your day. What happened to you today? What did you do? Who did you meet? How are you feeling? Journal writing can be to discover yourself or practice your writing, and this practice will contribute to both. I find myself writing about my day almost everyday.
Try writing about different feelings and thoughts that come to your head. Do you ever thing, "What if...?" Write about it. Do you ever hear an interesting conversation or story? Write about it. Be creative and write about any idea that ever pops in your head.
Take the ideas and your daily life chronicles further beyond what you've written. Try to find what they mean in your life and connect your life throughout the different occurrences that have happened.
If you are still stuck and need ideas, be creative. Open a magazine and take one article title. Write an article for that title that appeals to you. Listen to a conversation on the bus or in a store between people you dont know, and write a story about you. The possibilities when you are creative are endless.
