Keep your writing on track with a process journal

July 28, 2018 by Jeffrey Bruner

Perhaps the best way to fight writer’s block is to avoid having it in the first place.

Sound too good to be true? Possibly, but Jennifer Haupt has seen great success in dodging that bullet by using a process journal — a place to free-write about plot, character development, and structure.

In particular, it helps by enabling you to do the following items:

• Keep track of the basics.

• Kick-start your writing session.

• Brainstorm with your characters.

• Keep your work-in-progress at your fingertips.

• Chart your progress.

• Calm your mind.

Haupt explains these in further detail on Writer’s Digest.
