44. …most of my play ideas first started
off as entries in my dream journal.
~Robert Alexander~
45. ~James Bertolino~
Keeping a
journal…provides
a place to find
solace when the
inexorable
loneliness of
poetry, of the poet’s life, haunts you
with feelings of frustration and
powerlessness
47. ~Omar S. Castaneda~
It is important to
practice reliving
places concretely and
to write these
“Envisioning” down. Special project
notebooks are ways to focus on the
need of the work and to do exercises
of visualization or a dialogue or of
characteriztion, etc.
49. I keep a daily journal whenever I
travel. At home, I am much
irresponsible, but [I] keep a common
place book like a bank for depositing
passages from whatever I am
reading. When I am writing a poem, I
sometimes makes withdraws from
both.
~Henri Cote~
50. … the
keeping of
the journal
is a peculiar
form for
writing
practice…
~Reginald Gibbon~
52. All writers are observers,
fascinated with human goings-on, but
journal writers are a special breed.
Suspicious of their own memories,
like tourist taking snapshots of
everything they see. They different
from diarists.
~Robin Hemley~
53. ~Brenda Hillman~
I feel writers should
keep journals
because when we
to lose a sense of
private pleasure, the
assurance of a
sacred space exist in a
journal. Only the purity of unstudied
thought.
54. ~Craig Lesley~
Many writers like to
keep a journal
everyday, but I
don’t. It is
important to be excited about
journal entries and have something
useful to say. I don’t want it to be a
chore.
55. ~Stanley Plumly~
…I’ve kept the
record of
of my poems.
Except that they
represent less the records
of my failures and more the
reassurance of just how the wrong
direction got straightened, the wrong
language got transformed.
56. ~Kim R. Stafford~
…the language is alive,
moving and trembling
like a river around me.
Collecting from this
abundance and
recording what I hear in
pocket notebook makes
life a random richness.
58. … responding with old friends and
keeping a personal journal are similar
activities, only differentiated by a
degree of deep honesty. One’s own
voice, chaotic, unobstructed by
artificial mannerisms, comes out pure
in a letter, but it has an even purer
quality in a journal kept for nobady
but the self.
~Ilan Stavans~
59. I use my journal
to jolt my mind when
I sit down to write a
particular chapter…
Marianna de Morco Torgovnick
61. I’ve found journal character I
invented before I came up with the
idea for a book…I just hadn’t kwon
what to do with them at the time. I
have to ask myself what else is
lurking my scribblings. For all I know,
I’ve started writing my 5th and 6th
novel and just haven’t notice it yet.
~Kathleen Tyau~
62. ~Joan Weimer~
My journal became
a place to pursue a
feeling or a dream instead of
forgetting or evading it.
65. When I was eighteen, I started
thinking about becoming a writer but
as an undergraduate student and
later as a graduate student in creative
writing. …I wrote lettes, sometimes as
many as five or ix a day. …I realized
those letters were how I practiced my
writing.
~Shawn Wong~

Gusto kong magsulat upang
maipahayag ko ang aking nararamdamang
galit, kalungkutan at kabiguan sa buhay. Sa
pamamagitan ng pagsusulat, mababawasan
ang tensyong namamayani sa aking sarili
dahil nailabas ko ang kinikimkim ko sa aking
kalooban. Sa pagsusulat ko rin nailalantad
ang mga itinatagong lihim nang walang
makaririnig na ibang tao…

Kung hindi ako isang tao, malamang
ako ay isang ibon, sapagkat nais kong lumaya
at pagharian ang buong kalikasan. Sa bawat
kampay ng aking mga pakpak ay pagtaas ko
naman upang abutin ang aking pangarap. Nais
kong maging ibon upang lumaya... maghari
kahit minsan man lamang!
Kailan kaya ako lilipad?

77. Ito ay higit na pag-iingat ang
isinasagawa ng manunulat. Sa
sandaling ang mensaheng nakapaloob
sa isang isinular na diskurso ay
nakarating sa tagatanggap at ito'y
kanyang nabasa, hindi na maaaring
baguhin ng manunulat ang kanyang
mga naisulat
79. Ito ay karaniwang magkaharap ang
mga partisipant kung kaya't bukod sa
kahalagahan ng mga salitang
sinasambit, pinagtutuunan din ng bawat
kasapi ang ibang sangkap ng
komunikasyon.

Ang Imbensyon ay
salitang Latin na ibig
sabihin ay to find. Ito ay
nakatuon sa kung ano ang
sasabihin. At maaari rin ito
tukuyin bilang paksa.
84. C. Pagsasawika ng Ideya
Ideya ng isang tao tungkol
sa isang paksa at ito ay
mananatiling kaisipan
hangga’t hndi ito nalalapatan
ng mga salitang magbibigay
kabuuan dito.
