Yeah I totally agree with Cadogan, just keep practicing. You gotta use your hand to write kanjis to be able to remember and write them by hand. My husband, has lived in Japan for a little over 10 years now, started having trouble writing kanjis by hand, but he's a computer guy and he never gets any chance to write not just kanjis but any Japanese by hand, so now he's having trouble writing hira/kana and reading kanjis. You'll forget what you don't use, but you'll remember (at least some) if you use it. So just keep practicing! I used to study English vocab with a method of 7 words a day. So if you want to add one new word, then you have to opt out the oldest word you added to the list. Do I make sense?? That method really worked for me, and I put the paper up on the bathroom wall haha
So for example: 1st day: 朝露 (new word) 2nd day: 朝露, 玉露 (new word) 3rd day: 朝露, 玉露, 玉の輿 (new word) . . . 7th day: 朝露, 玉露, 玉の輿, . . ., 満期 (new word) 7 words in total 8th day: 玉露, 玉の輿, . . ., 満期, 会員制 (new word) 7 words in total 9th day: 玉の輿, . . ., 満期, 会員制, 明細 ( new word) 7 words in total
So you keep adding a new word everyday but you lose the oldest word on the list after studying it for 7 days. It doesn't take much of your time in the day, so it shouldn't be that hard compared to writing a whole journal or story on your own. Well anyways, you can use the book you mentioned, or you can ask your wife to come up with the Word of the Day. I just made that list above from the kanjis I saw on the paper lying around the house haha If you're still studying for N1, then I suggest you use any kind of textbooks for it, but just keep practicing! お姑さんをぎゃふんと言わせてみてっ(*`∧´)/笑
