If you're new to writing, understanding the format of a diary entry can be a great starting point. A diary is a personal record of your thoughts, experiences, and emotions. The format of  diary entry generally includes the date, a heading, and a body of text. You should start by writing the date at the top of the page to organize your entries chronologically. Next, give your entry a title or a heading to summarize the day's main thoughts. Then, in the body, express your emotions freely and talk about your day. You can also include reflections, personal observations, or future plans.
