Journal entry based stories can be used in creative writing by providing a personal and intimate perspective. They can serve as a starting point for developing characters, as the entries often reveal a character's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. For example, if you find an interesting journal entry about someone's fear of change, you can build a story around that character's journey to overcome this fear. Also, the raw and unfiltered nature of journal entries can add authenticity to a story.
