“Journaling? I don’t have time to journal”
Somerset Maugham is one of my favorite authors. He kept writing journals all his life. (If you get a chance, read his book, A Writer’s Notebook, which is based on his journals.)
Maugham traveled, and journaled, then wrote novels and short stories inspired by his travels and journaling.
Some writing quotes from the inimitable Mr Maugham…
- The best style is the style you don’t notice.
- I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately it strikes every morning at nine o’clock sharp.
- If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn’t matter a damn how you write.
- To write simply is as difficult as to be good.
Let’s look at how journaling helps you to create more and sell more.
