Journaling is an important part of anyone's life, not just the writer. Besides providing an emotional outlet, it can also be a repository for ideas, phrases, or anything a writer may want to make note of.
Use your journal when writer's block sets in. You can look back and different parts of your life or any notes that you have taken and use those as a basis for a scene or dialog.
The journal can also be a tool for self-evaluation or can help you with self-improvement both in your personal life and as a writer. Make notes on things you learn each day and review them often. Watch you learn and grow.
You can keep your journal in a notebook or online. There are several online journaling websites like livejournal.com where you can make your journal public or keep it just for your eyes only. It's up to you. Just remember to keep in informative and helpful. You never know, you may turn it into your life story!
