I actually have my journal in my bathroom so when I need to take some time in the bathroom I make a quick entry in my journal. I began this journal almost a year ago. I bought a special book just for to journal. I began by just talking about what I had done that day. It took me quite a few entries to become relax enough to comfortably write about what was in my head. So maybe if you do something similar. Write about your day or things you have coming up in the future. Eventually the others will want to make entries. It's an interesting log of my journey with DID and it helps me to get to know the others. Good luck
