I often write about things that are relatable to writing but don’t really fit any one of my primary categories. As a result, I use the Journal category to share those bits of information. Especially if it’s about a topic that can fit virtually anywhere.

For example, here are the most recent posts I’ve published in the Journal category:

I built one of these for WriterSanctuary. - Going All-In for WriterSanctuary: Ideas of What Is Coming Soon

On April 14th, 2025, I will be joined by Gary Kidney for a live author interview on After Hours. He is the author of a spy thriller taking place in one of my favorite time periods, World War II. And from what I’ve read of the description, it’s more than likely getting added to my TBR pile.
Not every piece of content you create for a blog needs to focus intently on SEO. Sometimes, just sharing your journey with others is enough to inspire and motivate the audience. And sometimes, you gain followers or subscribers.
