Since then Jacqueline has been on countless awards shortlists and has gone on to win many awards. This was also the first of her books to be illustrated by Nick Sharratt. One of Jacqueline’s most successful and enduring creations has been the famous Tracy Beaker, who first appeared in 1991 in The Story of Tracy Beaker. As a teenager she started work for a magazine publishing company and then went on to work as a journalist on Jackie magazine (which she was told was named after her!) before turning to writing novels full-time.

A commonplace book is a central resource or depository for ideas, quotes, anecdotes, observations and information you come across during your life and didactic pursuits.

If you're in a hurry, jot down notes about your day on a scrap of paper that you can copy into the journal when you have more time.

You may want to include the time that you wrote each as well.

Remember to date each entry, so you can remember the timeline of your trip.

If you're taking a plane, train, bus, or car to another location, the ride is a great time to work on journal entries. For example, you might do your entries at breakfast or just before bed.

It helps to set aside a specific time to write in your journal.

Aim to at least jot down some notes each night before bed about the experiences you had that day. Not every entry has to be long and cover everything you did on a given day, though. It's best to journal while you're actually traveling because it can be difficult to remember key details after the trip is over. This helps your journal really capture the mood and tone of your trip. However, if you’re flying, make sure you can put them in a checked bag or you won’t be able to bring them with you.

A small pair of craft scissors can also be handy for cutting out images and things to stick in your journal.

If you like to draw and sketch, take a set of drawing pencils with you to sketch sights you see along the way.

Washi tape or a glue stick are handy for sticking postcards, pictures, and other mementos to pages.

If you want to get really decorative, purchase some additional art supplies like colored markers, gel pens, and pencils.

A journal with acid-free paper is usually a good investment because it will ensure that your writing and sketches will hold up for years.

A nice leather-bound notebook with blank pages works well, for example. Choose a journal that's small enough to carry in your day bag wherever you go, but big enough to hold mementos like standard 5 in (13 cm) by 7 in (18 cm) postcards.
