I really want to keep a journal--I do a lot of creative writing, so I think it would improve my skills--but every time I try to start one, I end up writing like two entries, and then forgetting about it. Any tips on how to get myself to keep one--and maybe make it really crafty and creative in the process?

I agree with Stephanie Ann .........
Also, when you are ready in the evening to rest, grab yourself a cup of coffee, or tea, or cranberry juice, and curl up in a chair with no distractions...Just your thoughts..........Start your creative writing.........You could think of it as a book you are writing.Or you could also think of it as pertinent information about your days as a Mom , or wife, and your personal thoughts......
When my Mother passed away , I kept pieces of papers where she would jot down her grocery list, Her idea on writing a book,
her notes to remind herself to do or say something she felt was important...............I can't tell you how much these little notes or writings mean to me....!!! And the one most cherished thing I found was a tape recording of her baby-sitting my daughter(her grandaughter).......She had the recording going the whole time with no matter what they did together...Lunch, Playing a game of trouble(their favorite together) their conversation about school. I absolutely CHERISH these momentos.....Plan ahead for your loved ones and do something similar ..Like keep a journal of you and your thoughts.

buy one thats small enough to carry around with you, you'll always have a free minute to do something just actually having it with you would be even better. Then if you get inturrupted you'll have motivation to finish it later because you already started and entry.

Are you kidding me? that is what i do all the time! Now i just try to not force myself to write in it, but only write when i really want to. The more often i write the more often i want to. I would say don't force yourself to but instead just write when you want, it keeps the fun in it that way too.

It's habitual, make it part of goin to bed by putting it on your pillow when u make your bed. Then u always have to write in it before going to bed.
