To start my\nmini series on journaling benefits for writers, I\u2019m going to talk about the\nbenefits of keeping a fiction writing journal. A journal is a place to dump\nunwanted thoughts and feelings, to \xa0write\nyour prayers and responses from the Holy Spirit, capture new ideas, develop\nyour new ideas, brainstorm plot points for stories, flesh out your characters\nand keep track of your story\u2019s timeline. I encourage you to have your journal\nhandy as I take a deep dive into each of these benefits.\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com\nand use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the\nsite.\nSupport this\npodcast with a monthly donation by visiting:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\n\xa0or you can give a one-time donation via PayPal\nat:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
