Summary

Create an in-universe personal log, diary entry, or first-person record.

Scope

Use for journals, witness logs, mission notes, recollections, and private first-person records.

Rules

• Keep the voice first-person and personal.
• Allow subjectivity, gaps, and emotional framing.
• Do not flatten private writing into neutral exposition.

Workflow

1. Identify author, context, and purpose.
2. Choose the form: diary, log, letter, or memo.
3. Write in a personal register consistent with the character.
4. Create a Talk page describing bias, credibility, and context limits.
