“Follow tangents”. How do you get the tangents to happen?

“Keep writing ….Eventually, your thoughts will start to take shape.” How? What happens, other than the same sentence written over and over and over?

Any advice for people who don’t already know how to do this?

I do not do this on a regular basis, but I do try to journal daily. I use this method on days when I don’t know what to journal, just to keep me in the habit. Yesterday, as I was working on some mundane tasks that needed more immediate attention than journaling, I was thinking about a situation I wanted to journal. I did have, as you said, a whole inner dialogue with myself about what I would write. Once I sat down with my journal, I no longer felt the desire to write on that topic. It wasn’t as though it was suddenly not important. It was that I had already poured all of those thoughts out, even if it was internally and not on paper. So instead I wrote about the fact that I had previously had something to journal but was now at peace with those thoughts and no longer needed to. I love all of your tips and ideas on SOC journaling and look forward to implementing them as well as making this form of journaling a regular part of my routine and not just on “writer’s block” days.
