[stylist] journal writing

[Ashley Bramlett via stylist]

Vejas,
Igood question; for it to be a story, it needs a conclusion, a resolution of 
sorts, and have a theme to tie it together.

good luck writing it.

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
