Kicking off our new summer series, Journaler’s Routine—a twist on our beloved Writer’s Routine—featuring writers from THE BOOK OF ALCHEMY. First up: Suleika herself!

When did you start keeping a journal, and what inspired you to begin? 
 
I began keeping a journal as soon as I could hold a pen. My family moved a lot when I was young, and I’d get a fresh journal when I started at a new school. As a kid who felt like a misfit, the journal was both a hiding place and a finding place. It represented possibility—on the page I could reimagine who I was. I could reinvent myself as often as I needed.
 
Is consistency important to you? What brings you back to thee page?
 
Like with exercise, I believe you reap the true benefits of journaling when you’re consistent. Inevitably I lapse, and what gets me back is a low barrier to entry—so if all I manage is a few sentences, I consider it a win. I avoid an all-or-nothing approach (often that leads to nothing). I try to journal at the same time each day and pair it with a non-negotiable. Journaling as I sip my coffee works as a little Pavlovian trick; I go to sleep dreaming about that first cup, so journaling becomes something I also look forward to.
 
When did keeping a journal unlock something for you, personally or creatively?
 
When I got my book deal for my memoir Between Two Kingdoms, I was elated—it had been my dream for years. But with that privilege came an all-consuming imposter syndrome that made writing nearly impossible. I couldn’t experiment or play. I lost my sense of creative freedom. I wouldn’t allow myself to take off in whatever direction, trusting that you often have to go down the wrong path to find the right one.
 
My laptop also posed a problem. For every word I wrote, I deleted two, and there were distractions like email and social media. I felt vulnerable and exposed, so I switched to my journal. Writing by hand, I was less likely to self-edit (only so much crossing out you can do). I could be messy and take creative risks—because it didn’t count. The journal embodied an important lesson for me: There is the draft you write for yourself, the draft you share with the world, and many drafts in between.

Our Story

In 1925, Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, two New Yorkers in their mid-twenties, acquired The Modern Library, a stable of classics and contemporary American works. The company assumed the name Random House two years later when Cerf and Klopfer decided to publish a few books on the side, “at random.”

Today Random House is the proud publishing home of the world’s most acclaimed storytellers, thought leaders, and innovators. The Random House portfolio of imprints includes include Ballantine Books, Bantam Dell, Delacorte Press, Del Rey, The Dial Press, Modern Library, One World, Hogarth, Crown, Crown Archetype, Tim Duggan Books, Three Rivers Press, Broadway Books, Convergent, Currency, Crown Forum, Image, WaterBrook, Multnomah, Clarkson Potter, Ten Speed Press, Lorena Jones Books, Watson-Guptill, Ink & Willow, Harmony, Rodale, and, of course, the flagship imprint Random House. This diverse group of imprints publishes original fiction and nonfiction in all formats with the mission to entertain, educate, and inspire readers for generations.
