Customizing Creative Writing Journals To Write In

By Winifred Christensen


Writing is never easy. We have heard of this so many times that it already sounds cliched. Strangely, despite of hearing the statement over and over again, we still find people who take the craft lightly. Those who say it is easy have either not worked on their writing for some time, or have not yet done the craft for a consecutive period of time.

But same challenge can be placed for those who are just finding it as a hobby or a form of practice to prepare for future career. Creative writing journals to write in is one method that anyone can use to make sure that every idea that comes to mind will be documented well. Those who have tried using it can attest to the efficiency that it has to offer. If you are willing to try this out, then there is a wide avenue where you can start.

There are a lot of special kinds of notebooks that can be found in stores so it should not be difficult to make your purchase. Plus, you can buy them online if you do not want to go out. If you are not satisfied with the custom designs you find in the market, you can always create your own that will cater your preference. Here are some things that you can include in your considerations.

Conceptualize on the cover. Before you do anything, the very first thing that you have to consider should be the concept. You cannot just go on designing something without any idea about how you want it to appear. You can be as detailed as you want on this part. You can even draw the image of the finished output on a blank paper. The cover is the first thing that you see. Be sure that it is appealing to you.

Decide on the features that you wish the journal to have. You should also have to think about the specific things about the journal. How big is it. What kind of paper do you need to have. Do you like its pages to be completely blank or will those with lines be acceptable.

Consider the type of contents that you want to place in there. Next, think about the types of things that you would want to write in there. It is common to have text inputs when writing down your ideas, but you can always have doodle and drawings as well if you want. If you would like to polish the content later on, you can even insert pictures.

Look for those high quality items. With the huge demand for notebooks nowadays, its no longer a surprise if you find a lot of variation. Some of them are made from the best quality while others are not. To ensure maximum durability, going for those items that are created from top materials is only right.

Think of a good name. This is optional but something that many writers find as important. By giving a name or a title to the journal, you are actually giving it an identity. Its no longer just your ordinary notebook. Its something that contains important thoughts that have the potential to be developed if you give enough time.

You can never be so sure when an idea will come. Do not just stand there and listen as it passes you by. Do something and write them down. They may not be useful as of now. But they can come in handy in the future. You never know.
