what is the format of diary writing?
Answers
For example,
A good diary writing contains the place, the date, the day and even the time of writing. For example:
Agra
20th July, 20XX
Friday, 8:00 p.m.
A diary doesn’t need any formal heading. However, it is optional. If you want, you can give a suitable heading.
The style and tone is generally informal and personal. However, it depends on the subject. Sometimes the tone can be philosophical and reflective too. You can freely express your viewpoints and feelings.
As the diary is writer’s personal document, the diary entry doesn’t need any signature. It is totally optional.
You can evolve your own suitable style depending on the topic of your writing.
Answer:
1. Always mention the date
Pick a corner and keep it for mentioning the dates of your diary entry. You may not write every day. Some people are also specific about time and place as well.
2. Choose a subject
Just like a chapter, usually, there’s a reason why you reached out to make a diary entry.
3. Voice
Now, we always address our entries in the first person. If you want, you can give it a name.
4. Be honest, it’s you who are talking to
The key thing about a diary entry is that it is always kept truthful, natural and free-flowing
5.Make it a habit
Well, this one, I personally think, you only have to remind yourself as you begin to write.

Becky’s basement
Dear Diary,
Today, Becky and I went to the pond and lay our heads on the green grass for hours until sundown. It was a mesmerizing experience. I hope my friends from my hometown Sri Nagar can one day share that experience with us here.
Oh and we were also very close to getting punished for bringing puppies inside the class today. Shaanu warned us in time and we could manage to sneak the puppies out in time.
I am preparing a song for the choir singing this Sunday. Hope I don’t stutter like last time.
Will be writing soon again.
