Character Journal

A character journal is a journal kept by a fictional character. Writing a character journal can be a good way to get to know your characters better; but it can also distract you from writing the character's story.

Some books and fanfiction are written in journal format; this is similar, but not quite the same thing, because a character journal will include everyday-life information that may be quite irrelevant to the plot of the main story.

Some PPC agents keep journals.
