The vehicle that you use doesn't mean that much (ywrite, Word, Open Office, notepad, wordpad) The absolute toughest obstacle is staring straight on at that blank sheet of paper and communicating in some fashion. (I Call it the White Screen of Death)
You have to fearlessly TYPE. Don't be a critic, be a writer. Thoughts of the day, the song you hummed when you perceived your world.
Don't make words like "Diary" or "Journal" become personal monsters.
You will be amazed at how many things on your Procrastination List mysteriously getting done.
Have you thought about doing an online blog, like Blogger or wordpress? You can set them at different privacy levels, screen comments or no comments etc.
Sometimes it's burning in me to write something. I can see it in my head but can't quite put it intelligible form. Sometimes I have dreams that are full length movies, they seem, and want to write them down.
I guess really the old paper and pencil is a good place to start as well.
Motivation is another aspect that haunts me. I need to be selfless and not for any reason but to put it down on a medium of some sort. So I can look at it, and not for any sort of money profit, but self exploring and expression really.
