A journal is a blank book that you keep as a reflection of your life. Every day you enter in the date and then:
You allow you hand to pick up a pencil or pen or anything at all and make marks on the page. You don't control your hand. You do not limit it to a page. Neither do you force it to make a many-page journal entry. There is no forcing. There is no directing. What ever happens whether you jot notes, doodle, make ink spots or rip the page to shreds is exactly what needs to happen. That is the improv way.
Improv is a very serious matter. You really need to do this every day if you want to improvise.
May the pulse be with you!
