Passage　12

For　the　person　keeping　a　journal,　whatever　he　experiences　and　wants　to　hold　he　can　write　down.　But　to　get　it　down　on　paper　begins　another　adventure.　For　he　has　to　focus　on　what　he　has　experienced,　and　to　be　able　to　say　what,　in　fact,　the　experience　is.　What　of　it　is　new?　What　of　it　is　remarkable　because　of　associations　in　the　memory　it　stirs　up?　Is　it　a　good　or　bad　thing　to　have　happened?　And　why,　specifically?　The　questions　multiply　themselves　quickly.　As　one　tries　to　find　the　words　that　best　represent　this　discovery,　the　experience　becomes　even　more　clear　in　its　shape　and　meaning.
Beyond　the　value　of　the　journal　as　record,　there　is　the　value　of　the　discipline　it　teaches.　The　journalist　begins　to　pay　closer　attention　to　what　happens　to　and　around　himself.　He　develops　and　sharpens　his　skills　of　observation.　He　learns　the　usefulness　of　languages　as　a　means　of　representing　what　he　sees,　and　gains　skill　and　certainty　in　the　expression　of　his　experiences.　To　have　given　up　one’s　experience　to　words　is　to　have　begun　marking　out　the　limits　and　potential　of　its　meaning.　In　the　journal　that　meaning　is　developed　and　clarified　to　oneself.　When　the　intention　of　the　development　of　that　meaning　is　the　consideration　of　another　reader,　the　method　of　the　journal　redirects　itself　and　it　becomes　the　essay.
