I stretch my writing muscles every day by writing in my journal. The journal is personal, meaning that I don't share what I write there with anyone on a routine basis. My journal allows me to limber up and get prepared for the more organized writing I will do that day.
Almost anything might show up in my journal. Overheard bits of conversation show up there. Ideas for articles, books and stories find their way there. My journal contains a number of rants that I hope never see the light of day anywhere else. I track my progress on my writing goals in the journal, noting religiously how many words I wrote yesterday. (The words written in the journal don't count toward my daily total.)
If you haven't written your journal pages today, get to it.
