Writing Through Your Troubles

I've mentioned journaling before, but more and more, I realize how important it is. If you're a writer, it's a must to keep track of ideas, dialogue overheard, scenes, titles, anything that pops into your head about one of your writing projects. If you aren't a writer, but just have a particular problem that won't let go, write it all down, leaving out nothing. Remember that no one but you will read it, so you can be completely free and honest.
It might be a letter to a friend, relative, or even a politician, anyone who has you stirred up inside. Once you've written it all out, the burden is lightened, and you can move on.
