A quote that applies to me as a writer would be “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on,” by Louis L’Armour. The quote by Louis L’Armour is applicable to me as a writer because starting on a piece of writing is the one of the difficulties that I have as a writer. When finding myself trying to write, I always overthink and doubt how I am to start a work of writing. Therefore, this quote I believe applies to me as a writer because it is what I need to do; I need to turn on the faucet so the water can run and so I can get better at writing.

In total, I made 133 entries in my Daybook. In the beginning of the semester I made a mission statement that stated that I wanted to improve in opening my mind up during writing, that way I would not overthink it too much. My mission statement also included that I hoped to write every day when I had free time.

At first, it was hard to not overthink or doubt what to do, but as time went by I got more comfortable with it and I started to see the daybook as a place where I could brainstorm anything on.

The easiest entries to accomplish for me were that ones where I expressed how I felt. And as I went through my Daybook I marked two entries, one that showed my original thinking and one that showed high quality. I marked an entry as high quality because I believe it showed improvement in my writing from the very beginning of the semester. The entry labeled high quality, I feel is good quality in that I was able to explain how I felt about an idea in a better way than I would have been able to before. I feel that I was also able to maintain a certain idea going instead of jumping between ideas like I did before. In the entry, the idea was of why I felt accomplished at the end of the semester and I feel that I said relatable things went back to the idea of the entry. Overall, I feel that my Daybook helped me gained confidence in my writing by writing what came to mind every
