Critic Netra Atom says that the power of diary is the self-awareness of a person and the rapid vitality of time and place. Explaining its creative significance, he said, "A diary is considered as an official source of memoirs, autobiographies or biographies as it contains prose, compilation of daily records related to personal relationship events, works, thoughts and observations. The diary of a person who is absorbed in self-reflection can have a high level of creativity and ideological expression, while the diary writer's self-disclosure is through behavior, dialogue and attitude towards others. ” This statement highlights the creative significance of the diary on the one hand and the special significance of the diary as the original source of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies on the other.

3. What does it take to be a diary?

Very little is written in the creative context of the diary. As it started with a non-publishing note, its publication has been limited, but the dailies that have been written and the number of publications that have been published seem to have become very popular in Nepali literature and politics. The diary should not be published as intended by the diary writer. In it, diaries are written for the purpose of preserving information, events and details and later giving it a creative form to write autobiography or autobiography. Some later try to translate it into autobiography or autobiography, while others die before they can do it. Informal style diaries published after the death of the creator are also very interesting or entertaining. In addition, in some cases, it is found that after the author's lifetime, someone else wrote his biography based on the same notes. At this point, these diaries become the main source of information.
Critics say that diaries written to record daily behaviors, experiences, fantasies, etc., later acquire significant literary, historical, or philosophical breadth because they capture the response to a person's psyche at a particular time. , The four basic elements such as the correlation of sense perception and imagination are specially mentioned. Writing a diary clearly about their creative interrelationships can be a unique literary work in itself. The diary writer needs to be more clear about these—


(A) Timely linearity

A diary of time and events is considered essential in a diary. Since every day from morning to evening there is a systematic record of what happened or what was done at what time, the temporal linearity is considered to be its main element. This is important for both general writers and literary creators. The general writer informally records the time and events sequentially, while the literary creator draws time and events in an artistic way and reaches the end. It has a date note at the top and the subsequent time segments are linked to each event. Therefore, temporal linearity is considered an essential element for a diary.


(B) Self-realization

Diary writing is a combination of personal events and experiences. When the Creator realizes and his note becomes responsible. Self-realization is knowing oneself. Who am I, since the self-realization of the social role, rather than the writer's personality, gives the diary historical significance? What am i writing Why am i writing And how should I write? Etc. It is considered good for a diary writer to try to find answers by focusing on such questions. That is why self-awareness is considered an important element for writing a diary.


(C) Transformation of instant experience

Since the diary is written on the same day, it has immediate special significance. The diary is strengthened by the effect it has on the creator's experience at the same time as the event. If the creator consciousness is strong in the diary writer, he intersperses the events and time and expresses it in connection with the immediate experience. It is also considered to be of high quality in terms of the daily art value of the creator who can transform the time spent into experience. Therefore, the transformation of instantaneous experience is considered an important element of a diary.


(D) Correlation of memory, sense perception and imagination

Memory is considered the main basis for a diary. The incident is not recorded at the same time. Since the things of the day are memorized in the evening, memory is considered essential for this. Things that are memorized are recorded by making them sensory or providing emotional light. It is considered good to see the partial presence of imagination in that note. Memory is based on reality, perception is related to experience, and imagination adds artistic beauty. Therefore, the correlation between memory, sense perception and imagination is viewed from the point of view of artistic value for diary writing.


(E) Effectiveness of communication (language / style / presentation)

Diary writing tends to be both formal and informal. Informal writing is just a note of time and event. Although it has an informative value, it does not have an artistic value. Formal writing is literature. All the elements mentioned in it are followed systematically. The writer of a formal diary is serious from the very beginning of writing and he keeps on arranging every event according to the schedule and providing artistic value. In this type of diary writing, the effectiveness of communication plays a special role. Since informal style but formal and effective communication gives vitality to daily writing, it also has a special place in the language style or presentation.


In addition to this, the diary writer could artistically unfold not only the different things happening at different times of the day but also the specific thoughts or experience-centered things that came out of them, if he could creatively capture the achievements seen, experienced and experienced throughout the day. And if the reader can provide more information and entertainment than expected, the diary is considered successful and beautiful. It is the writer's responsibility to make the diary interesting, entertaining and informative.

4. How is a diary written?

Diary writing is both informal and formal. Writing an informal diary does not require a plan, structure or guiding principle. Everything mentioned in a formal diary is essential. At school level, there is a definite format of diary which is given as text material and given for writing in exams. It focuses on a specific subject and describes the date and time in a subjective style from morning to evening, but diaries written by a specific personality do not have such an experimental structure. A series of notes on time, events and experiences play a special role. So if a writer wants to write a diary, the following structures and steps seem to make the creation beautiful and organized


(A) Clear mention of date and place

Diary writing happens every day so the date should be mentioned at the top of the page. Also the author may not stay at home or in the same place forever so it is considered mandatory to mention the place along with the date. It can also be used to write the date of the day at home and also the process of mentioning the place on the day of departure. Since it is written every day, the title may not be given, but if someone gives a title to commemorate a special event of a particular day, it is also considered good. Thus, it is mandatory to mention the date and place while starting the diary and the title is considered optional.


(B) Role clause

This is the gateway to the diary. It begins with a very informal personal context. It starts with the information about the daily activities of the morning, but only if there is the same type of activities every day, it is mentioned only if there is a different type of daily start to avoid recurrence.


(C) Extension section

This is the main section of the diary. The events of the day are recorded in a timely manner. If the note is informal, it is placed in point form and if it is formal, it is placed in paragraph. The style of extending it is artistic and the style of presenting the subject is analytical. This section can be written in one, two, three or more paragraphs depending on the scope of the event and the topic.


(D) Squeeze section

This section is a place to present an assessment of the events and themes of the day and to establish a writing idea. Up to this point, the author has presented every event of the day in a series of artistic ways. Therefore, in this section, the diary is properly concluded with the personal thoughts and views of the author. This part is the last section of the diary. It is usually written in the same paragraph and is more substantial than the others.
These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use. The perfect creator can write a diary at the end of a day, at the same time or in the same place. Not only that, it is just an external frame for diary writing. Every creator has his own kind of daily art that lives internally. That is the personal characteristic, ability or specific identity of the Creator.
