When do I write? What's the best time?
For me, I enjoy journal writing nightly. I grab a fountain pen loaded with deep blue/black/brown waterproof ink and write the events of the day. I write this around whatever I may have sketched during the day. The writing might relate, it might not. It doesn't really matter.
It's a little routine for me and that's the main point. I want writing in my journal to be a regular event. I carry it with me through the day and write as I have a few moments. This is especially great however there are a few caveats. I could misplace it, not have the privacy I want in order to really focus on the writing. Sometimes I write at my work desk only to be interrupted and lose my whole train of thought. Rather, I find that writing at the end of the day puts things in perspective. Then I can write only what is important, notable, or eventful.
