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.
Not to mention that sometimes I’ll just write about what’s on my mind regarding books, blogs, and freelancing.
For example, here are the most recent posts I’ve published in the Journal category:

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.
