It's not something one needs to do, but I've personally found it very helpful - especially with the quantity of character journal entries I write. Your mileage may vary~
That's a great idea and what I planned to do once Bhav has some RP events play out in ARR.Â
A quirk I'm making him have is he always wants to inform his adopted parents what he's up to, therefore he'll write letters to them explaining his travels, who he meets, etc. It will serve as my method of remembering past events. Also, I'll keep a little folder for screenshots, information, and all the letters related to Bhav or anything he's apart of.
