Journals are highly personal. If your character isn't the sort to sit down and write out their life experiences, you're still okay to make a journal. Anything your character writes, essentially, can be considered a journal.
So, say for instance you're a researchy type, and you decide to start taking little notes here and there. You can post them here as a little bit of insight to your character.
Day One,
Nothing yet. Will wait a little longer. Disappointed.
They don't even have to be particularly well written. Hell, if my character wrote a journal, it would probably look like this:
I DONOT NO WHY I CANOT FIND THE LETHER STRIPP I WAS LOKING FOR TODAY BECOS A ORDOR CAME TO ME TO MAKE GLOVS FOR A MAN BUT I CANOT MAKE THE TO GLOVS WITH OUT THE STRIPPS I DONOT NO WHAT TO DO . THE DEDLIN IS COMING UP AND I FEL SO NERVIS I HAV TO MABE BY SOM FROM ANUTHER LETHER PERSIN .
Course, typically, a literate character will just go on ahead and write out a nice detailed recollection of what happened to them recently. It's a good way to track your character's experiences, and to develop your character further in the process by analyzing their private thoughts and reactions to certain events.
To start one here, literally just go to the appropriate forum and open up a thread of your own, then start typing. Nothin' to it!
