Love words, agonize over sentences. And pay attention to the world.

Write hard and clear about what hurts.

Nobody cares much whether you write or not. You just have to do it

I believe myself that a good writer doesn’t really need to be told anything except to keep at it.

Thus says the Lord, ‘Write all the words which I have spoken to you in a book.

The best time to begin keeping a journal is whenever you decide to.

Writing is medicine. It is an appropriate antidote to injury. It is an appropriate companion for any difficult change.

I can recapture everything when I write, my thoughts, my ideals and my fantasies.

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.

A writer, I think, is someone who pays attention to the world.

Sometimes the only paper will listen to you.

Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.

Successful journals break the deadlock of introspective obsession

In solitude we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to the details around us.

What happens to us is not as important as the meaning we assign to it. Journaling helps sort this out.

Journaling is like whispering to one’s self and listening at the same time.

My diary entries allow me to keep track of all the things I would like to change about my life.

Journaling helps you to remember how strong you truly are within yourself.

A journal is your completely unaltered voice.
