Writing Images First

Ran across an interesting idea today while reading The Practice of Creative Writing by Heather Sellers:

“Get in the habit of writing in images instead of putting down all your thoughts hoping to translate them into images later” (122).

I’m entranced by the thought of using this advice as a journaling project.  What would my journal be like if I wrote down only images instead of thoughts?  It reminds me of art journaling–in recent months I have done more drawing and painting in journals.  But what if I kept my journaling words focused only on images?  What would result?

Anyone ever tried anything like this?
