A lot of webcomic authors tend to [[Life Embellished|embellish their own lives]] or [[Write Who You Know|take inspiration from real people]] or even [[Author Avatar|insert themselves into their story]]. However, there's another sort of comic that prefers to stay within the believable bounds of [[Real Life]]: the [['''Journal Comic]]'''
 
A [['''Journal Comic]]''' is different from a normal autobiography, as it's usually done day to day or week to week instead of being written in retrospect; really, it's more or less the comics equivalent of a blog. Each comic chronicles a day in the life of the creator, either reflecting on events or retelling them as a story. Unlike [[Life Embellished]] comics, they usually stay fairly true to life -- occasionallife—occasional exaggerations and simplifications are about as far from reality as they get.
 
The comics themselves tend to be drawn quickly, so that the artist can manage to crank them out something close to daily, but this isn't always the case. Some journal comics have a sort of indie vibe to them, due to being less story-focused and more focused on "being real" and being genuine... which may be a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask.
