I stopped writing separately for Shiva Nata and ended up just writing blog posts afterwards because I ended up wanting to blog what I was journaling! Whatever works for us, right?

More and more, my tendency is to journal everything. As a writer, I heard throughout my writing classes that I should be journaling every day. But it really hit home at work as a technical writer (writing user manuals and help systems for a software company). The more organized I got at work, the more notes I was keeping there. Here is my log for this project, here is my master to-do list, et al. It was super useful there because if I came across an item that was a match for something on some list, I could open up the list and capture the idea or to-do item right away. And I have finally started doing that in my personal life, as well. So I started off my new Shiva Nata practise with a journal straight-away. Not only does it improve my overall function, but it turns out, even these little lists and entries build my skills as a writer. <abbr><em>Kristi’s last blog post..<a href="http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/subscribe-to-comments/" rel="nofollow">Subscribe to Comments</a></abbr></em> I can relate to this.
