Helpful Things To Know About Your Journal and What to Put In It

[/center][/font]

A journal is a record (usually daily, sometimes not) of occurrences, experiences and observations. In your character journal you can post whatever you like; pictures, poems, thoughts, lyrics. It is a place for you to let everyone else see the inner most thoughts of your characters and I think writing a journal for your character helps you to get to know them better too!

I have found a character survey on t’internet and you can put it at the beginning of your journal if you want to.

Enjoy!

• What newspaper do you read?
• What's your idea of a good night out?
• What's your idea of a good holiday?
• Where do you shop for clothes?
• What's your favourite food?
• What music do you like to listen to?
• What are your favourite television programmes?
• What are your religious beliefs?
• Do you have any particular rituals or routines?
• What do you do before getting up / going to bed?
• What is your education / intellectual status?
• What is your state of health?
• What are your spiritual beliefs / moral codes?
• What is your ambition?
• Who are your heroes / heroines?
• What is your family background?
• What events / happenings have shaped your life?
• Who / what do you relate to or love?
• What pet hates do you have?
• What is your attitude to work?
• What is your attitude to your physical appearance?
• What makes you cry?
• Where would you like to see yourself in ten years' time?
• How would you like to be remembered?

This is just an idea. If you have any other ideas of what could go in a journal then please post them here.

I found it useful and I've answered most of the questions and posted them in Hepsy's journal if anyone wants an example.
