There are so many diaries in a writer’s library.
Every year she starts a new one and fills it up.
Every page is brimming with ideas of silver and gold.
There are also notes on the margins of the pages.
Ideas are formed and developed as they grow in stages.

The writer’s diary is filled with so much love.
Every idea is carefully written in elaborate detail.
Every thought and inspiration is collected here.
Every page is alive with the views of the writer.
This diary is a record that will never disappear.

The writer collects his ideas as they appear.
He needs to capture them before they disappear.
All the most unique thoughts are carefully written.
There are always gold nuggets of ideas buried within.
An idea becomes a poem or a story as life is breathed in.

The writer’s diary is a mirror of the writer’s creative mind.
It captures concepts of every conceivable shape and kind.
The writer’s craft develops, germinates, and grows over time,
In every story written, article, and poem in verse and rhyme.
Let your writer’s diary reveal to you its treasures every time.
