Introduction to diary entry format

A diary entry is a chronicle of your thoughts. Diary entries are made regularly and
discreetly for many purposes. It is introspective and, records the thoughts more
than the events. Diary entry reflects a person's thoughts and reactions to a
certain event that is of importance or significance. Often, one writes about his/her
aspirations, successes and failures in personal life in a Diary entry. The entries
can be made for both personal and professional reasons. Some famous diary
entries have received critical and literary acclaim. Autobiographical literature is,
to a great extent, based on diary entries by notable personalities.

Dairy Entry Format – How to write a dairy entry

Diary entry format is very similar to the format of a personal letter. A diary entry
starts with a date, which is written at the top right hand corner. This could be
followed by mentioning the place. One can then address the diary, which is
optional. One may or may not do that. The entry is usually made in first person.
To make it more lively and conversational, one can start a diary entry with a lively
greeting and an exclamation, and end it in a reflective mood. At the end of the
entry one may want to say goodbye to the diary, but that again, is optional.

Diary Entry Format - Example and Composition of a Diary Entry

Date: eg. 7th June 2010 or 7 June, or Monday, 7June

Introduction: Could be a general comment on how the day was. eg. Today was a

Body: It is the main part of the diary entry. You could describe what happened to
you or your personal feelings about something or someone. You could also write
about your future plans in this part.
