Personal Diary

&

Diary for your Book Writing Projects

In our last Blog Session, we already covered the many topics that you can write about in your Personal Diary.  Just as a review, you can take a moment to re-read our last Blog Session by Clicking here . . .

What your Diary/Journal will tell you

After you have written in your Personal Diary for about a week, if you take a moment or two to read over your daily diary entries for the week, you will discover some very surprising things about yourself.

Most people really have no idea of how their mind is working every day of their life.  Each moment has the potential to manifest an incredible idea, a positive thought, an inspirational vision, and any number of other progressive inventions tailored just for you.

When you write in your personal diary, this is when you are able to download what is on your mind, in your heart, and the stuff that you are carrying around on your back that you have forgotten about.  Those weighty stressor back-packs that we carry cause our necks to tense, our shoulders to feel heavy, and our backs to feel stressed.  Why not unload all of that in your personal diary.  Let your Diary deal with it.

Now, let's move on to our other important area of discussion for today . . .

Diary for your Book Writing Projects

Your Book Writing Diary

The first thing you can do when you open up your Book Writing Diary is write your name.  When I say "name", that means:  1)  Your Real Name; 2)  Your Pen Name; and/or 3)  Your Ghostwriter Name.

Also, make sure that as you begin to write entries in your Book Writing Diary that you understand the meaning of those three names listed above . . .

Your Real Name ~ as given at birth and/or currently, as well as specific designations such as...(i.e., maiden name; married name; hyphenated name; designated educational level ~ Dr., PhD, MA, etc.) 

A pen name (nom de plume, or literary double) is a pseudonym (or, in some cases, a variant form of a real name) adopted by an author and printed on the title page or by-line of his or her works in place of their "real" name.  A pen name may be used to make the author's name more distinctive, to disguise his or her gender, to distance an author from some or all of his or her previous works, to protect the author from retribution for his or her writings, to combine more than one author into a single author, or for any of a number of reasons related to the marketing or aesthetic presentation of the work.  The author's name may be known only to the publisher, or may come to be common knowledge.

A ghostwriter is hired to write literary or journalistic works, speeches or other texts that are officially credited to another person as the Author.  Celebrities, executives, participants in timely news stories, and political leaders often hire ghostwriters to draft or edit autobiographies, memoirs, magazine articles, or other written material.  In music, ghostwriters are often used to write songs, lyrics and instrumental pieces.  Screenplay Authors can also use ghostwriters to either edit or rewrite their scripts to improve them.

Writing in your Book Writing Diary

As you begin your entries in your Book Writing Diary, you'll develop your own way of placing information pertaining to your book inside.  Remember, this Diary is for all of your book writing projects.  If you are just working on one book at this moment, all the better!

However, if you plan on working on more than one book writing project in the next six months, be sure to list them all.  You may be working on a Play, or a Publication, or a Documentary, or a Memoir, or a Biography ~ whatever the case may be, use your Book Writing Diary to keep notes.  You can also name it whatever you like ~ Such as, Playwright Diary; Planned Newspaper Articles; Writing Projects for the month; Short Story Diary; etc. 

You'll need to include book titles, working plan, introduction, synopsis, character list, plot, storyboards if you have them, scene details, background location information, research notes, projected completion dates, publisher information, book cover drawings, any illustrations and/or artwork in relation to your book.

There is much more to cover, so do join us back here for our next Blog Session . . .

 Journals for the Writer, Author, and/or Novelist.
