> Hi all,
> Have any of you ever had experience writing a fiction novel or short story 
> in journal form? Is it easy to do?
> I'm thinking of writing something using this form.  I've read a few books 
> that are meant to be first-person journals and would really enjoy 
> experimenting with this style.  My main question about fiction journal 
> writing is: Does there have to be a theme, or can it just be the day-toDay 
> life of someone over a period of time? I have kept my own journal for a 
> year, where I put down many of my thoughts and feelings, and haven't 
> really been able to find a main theme with them.  I just feel that 
> peoples' day-to-day lives are often so complex, and each day is so 
> different, that a theme would be hard to find.
> I'd really appreciate input.
> Thanks,
> Vejas
