Be Natural in Your Writing: Write Like You Talk. Natural Speech Is Interesting to Read.

  • As I mentioned in the very first note of this sequence, natural speech is economical. It isn’t overloaded with unnecessary lexical constructions and avoids the excessive use of adverbs and adjectives. Starting a journal is the essential first step in discovering your voice and assembling your personal creative writing toolkit—one that can later be applied to almost anything: professional emails, personal notes, or even philosophical essays.
    • In the beginning, the process might—and likely will—require effort. To avoid overcomplicating things, simplicity is essential: just add the date—no subject, no theme, no grand idea.
  • “Starting” does not mean that one has to think deeply or plan. Just pick up a pen, grab a notebook, and write down whatever is on your mind. The goal is simple: make the transfer happen.
    To ease the initial struggle, establish a consistent routine:
    • Open a blank page and begin “talking” to the paper. Some might call it a stream of consciousness—it’s something like that. Focus on the present moment and respond to these prompts:
      • Where am I?
      • What am I thinking?
      • What am I feeling?
      • What do I see?
      • What’s happening in my life right now?
    • Avoid addressing the entry to anyone specific—not your mom, uncle, dad, sister, spouse, or children. Don’t write so-called “you” entries.
  • At the beginning of a journaling practice, some beginners might find “you” entries intimate. In truth, they are the opposite of intimate.
    • Let me be clear: the very first rule of journaling should be this reminder—avoid “you” entries.
      • Addressing someone else in your writing removes the true reader—who, in the end, turns out to be yourself. When you write to another person, you unconsciously omit thoughts, emotions, or details that feel unnecessary to share with them—but those might be crucial for you.
  • Instead of writing to your mom, write to the reader. In this context, “you” means a person other than yourself—and that person doesn’t belong in your private journal.
