Just building a habit helps, I think. I've been keeping a journal of some sort for 20 years give or take, sometimes semi-public, sometimes private. It's all about practice, and starting with yourself as the audience w/out any expectations or pressure is one of the best ways to do it. In fact, one of the most important observations I saw someone else make in the past is about how for some reason creative types are supposed to, idk, just tune into their muse and shit out stuff -- even though in reality the process of creation requires just as much practice, study, and training as say, sports. The person I heard this from phrased it a lot better though, haha.
