As far as my journal, I want to share tour life with my fans
And when you get an eminent journal like Time magazine complaining, as it often has, that to the young writers of today life seems short on rewards and that what they write is a product of their own neuroses, in its silly way the magazine is merely stating the status quo and obvious truth. The good writing of any age has always been the product of someone's neurosis, and we'd have a mighty dull literature if all the writers that came along were a bunch of happy chuckleheads.
My diary seems to keep me whole.
Be a collector of good ideas, but don't trust your memory. The best collecting place for all of the ideas and information that comes your way is your journal.
My best writing has always been in journals.
The word "journal" has in its root the word jour, French for day. A journey was the distance that could be traveled in a day. A journal, therefore, consisted of the writing one recorded per day.

I'm restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again. ANAÏS NIN, Fire: From "A Journal of Love" The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin, 1934-1938 For me, the adventures of the mind, each inflection of thought, each movement, nuance, growth, discovery, is a source of exhilaration.
I used to love writing in my journal.
I read less of everything now. With only fond memories of others' work, it will be interesting to give my own journal writing a try now.
I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play that I had that day. I don't write down any negatives.
I love playing. The keyboard is my journal.
I suppose this is the reason why diaries are so rarely kept nowadays- that nothing ever happens to anybody.
A journal is a great way to keep track of what happens daily in your walk with God and to record your prayers and thoughts.
A journal should be neither an echo nor a pander.
Murdoch paid too much for the Wall Street Journal even when he didn't have any competition.
There were no mail-order catalogues in 1492. Marco Polo's journal was the wish book of Renaissance Europe. Then, Columbus sailed the ocean blue and landed in Sears' basement. Despite all the Indians on the escalator, Columbus' visit came to be known as a "discovery.
A page from a journal of modern experimental physics will be as mysterious to the uninitiated as a Tibetan mandala. Both are records of enquiries into the nature of the universe.
