This will be on your "Permanent Record"

We desire to document the things we want to remember. A journal is a record of a moment in time. It may chronicle poetry, emotions, memories, and situations be they fact or fantasy. Diaries are calendar and date specific. These tend to be a pen to paper, listing of events, hopes and dreams.
An art journal may differ by containing abridged versions of these elements, with the addition of some form of illustration. Unless destroyed by neglect, an art journal is a permanent testament to its author/artist.

After reading countless art journal books and blogs, I have discovered the many commonalities between accomplished art jounalists. In a future "Art Jounaling 101" post, I will list suggestions to get started.
