If you have stories you’d like others to read — whether family or a broader audience — why not use your journal as a place to polish your storytelling skills? After all, when you’re journaling about your life you are, in fact, recording stories.
Here are some steps to try:
- sketch the story
- freewrite about the scene
- bring on the characters
- slow down the action
- resolution
- write your story
- re-write your story
- and re-write your story at least one more time
