Each page has a space at the top for writing the title or name of the game idea, as well as a space for filling in how long you estimate that the project would take you to complete and a space for the game's "elevator pitch". An elevator pitch (a sentence or two that explains your game clearly enough that practically anyone can understand it) is very important for a game because it helps you hone in on the core essence of what is interesting and unique about it. The rest of each page is simply filled with blank lines for writing whatever you want about the game idea. Game development (especially indie game development) is demanding and can take a long time. With this journal to record all your game ideas though, you'll have a place to safely store them, ready to use for future projects, helping you to stay focused on whatever you're currently working on.
