My understanding of this challenge was that we were to write as somebody different from who we are. It is easy to write as myself... but as a kid? or old man? or assassin? or scientist? or wage slave? Unless someone is writing for an audience, journal writing is often very boring... typical kid's diary "ate, watched TV, and went to bed" (I got a diary one Christmas, and it was forever before school started again, and I was no longer required to write something in it every night.)
