There was a woman, a writer, who experienced
writer's block. She continued to live her life, for a year or so, making small
notations on 3x5 cards, recording small bits of her life as she lived it.
Later, she collected her snippets into a book and it became famous and was
considered to be very literary.
She did not arrange the snippets into a story. She presented the snippets as
they were, although, being a writer, she may have polished and/or arranged
them.
I don't think that a non writer or an un established writer could get away with
that. I almost said do that successfully, but I think I mean get away with that
and all the resentment that that contains.
