A personal journal is a private possession. In other words, this diary usually is just for you and it’s not for public reading, so one can write liberally. But for the benefit of the readers, we’d like to show you all how is a diary entry generally written. What we are laying down here are good practices that one can inculcate while writing their diary entry.
Often confused with reports, articles are less formal. Although, they can be both formal or informal, again depending on the target audience. Also, an article mostly contains the opinions and thoughts of the writer, backed by facts and evidence. Lastly, an article can describe events, occurrences, persons, places, experiences, etc.
Maintaining a diary is generally a very good habit. Moreover, one can always check facts looking back, remember events, find an outlet and effectively document one’s life this way. Also, some people even name their diaries and address them like an imaginary friend.
As you might’ve guessed, an article addresses its readers. In other words, we write an article to interact with our readers. Hence it should be tailored accordingly for an audience. Generally, articles are published in newspapers, magazines, journals, etc. Further, it should attract and retain the reader’s attention.
