are those survey site even real? i tried i-say and opinion outpost but they only offered gift cards, WHICH I NEVER GOT :/

Yes omg some are actually real and do PAY YOU IN CASH, but you have to be careful and find the right ones. People advertising the ones you mentioned forget to say that they’re scammy/only offer gift cards.

This website is the only one I use; they have actually paid me twice via PayPal and have never asked me for personal bank information and such. You have to confirm your e-mail if you want the $5 welcome bonus :)

thanks!

Other journal ideas:

Write every day at the same time, e.g. lunch poems, waking ideas, etc.

Write minimally: one line or sentence per day

Create a collaborative journal: musical notation and poetry; two writers alternating days; two writing about the same subject each day, etc.

Instead of using a book, write on paper and put it up on the wall (public journal).

and so on …
