Ghost Journal



Keep a journal that is divided into sections, where in each section you will write about a different topic. Make headers to indicate the beginning of each section and what topic you will write about. This means that you will spend a period of time writing about the same topic. However, you will not be writing your own thoughts on these subjects. Instead, you will be tapping into the voice of some fictional persona. It came be the same character, or just what voice comes through on that day. One way to approach this is to simple present a question, then become comfortable writing spontaneous answers. When structuring your journal, it can be a different question for every day, or the repeating the same question to see how responses differ.  Thirdly, the topics should have a specific thematic scheme in that they are questions presented about other people; what they think about something, what they need, etc. (thus forming a triangle between you, the voice you are questioning, and the other people who are the subject matter). Remember to draw in the journal. It is also valid to receive responses in the form of images.
