A journal is incredibly useful to a writer. Any time the writer has an idea for a plot, character, conversation, name, event, description, etc. they can write it down in their journal so they don't forget it and so it can be used in later writing. Because of this a journal should really be carried at all times, since you never know when inspiration will strike!

When you write a story about a topic you know your story is believable, authentic and authoritative. I use a lot of health and medical things in my stories because I know about them. I do not use topics I don't know about because I would look like a fool when I wrote down incorrect things. When you do a thorough research and get help from experts you can use topics you have little knowledge about. The experts can read your story and correct you in areas you blundered over. It is just easier to stick to things you know so the reader can understand everything in the story.

Here is a clarification on this matter. When you write a plot it does not need to be "about" your specialty point of knowledge. In one of my novels I have one of the characters be a doctor who must help an injured person but the plot is about World War 2 evaders and their return to Pearl Harbor after crashing in Japanese occupied China. (Please don't steal my plot.)

Therefore your knowledge can be about many subjects but not be the main part of the plot but rather a supporting feature of your story. A romantic story can have so many sources of knowledge. For example, if you know about horses and ranches you could write the love story around that but not be about that.

Without giving away the ending, it is about a young lady who was given to the King by her father (in other stories she volunteered to help her father from being imprisoned) by telling him that his daughter can spin straws into gold. When she found it hopeless to try a man came in promising to turn the straws to gold for a price. Each day, the King was amazed by her "gift" and told her to make more, and each day the man would turn the straws to gold trading his gift for a possession of hers. The last time the King asked her to do the task, he promised her his hand in marriage and for his father to be free of debt. On the last day, the man would only do the job in return for her first born. Without really thinking about it, the woman agreed and got married to the King. When her first child was born, the man came back to get his payment, the Queen in panic asked him for anything else not willing to let go of her child. The man said if she figures out his name he would leave her alone. **Won't spoil ending though, sorry!**

Most publishers prefer typed manuscripts as it is easier to read and distribute. If you have a handwritten manuscript that you think is a good fit for a publisher, it's best to transcribe it into a typed document before submitting it. Some publishers may not accept handwritten manuscripts due to readability and consistency concerns.

The decision on how a manuscript is published typically lies with the author. Authors can choose to submit their work to academic journals, publishing houses, or self-publishing platforms. Editors and peer reviewers at journals or publishing houses may make recommendations for publication based on the manuscript's quality, relevance, and fit with the publication's scope.

Payment for short stories in magazines can vary widely, from as little as $50 to several hundred dollars. Some prestigious literary magazines may pay more for quality work. It's important to research the specific magazine you're interested in submitting to for their payment guidelines.
