How to have a script that creates scriptable objects but also works in the build.

I have a part of my game where players are able to make journal entries. I have it all working in the editor. When a journal is created a scriptable object is also created. The way im doing this now is by using the asset database to create a scriptable object. This asset database does not work in the Buidl though. So how do I go about dynamically creating scriptable objects in the built version of the game.

This is what my create journal script looks like.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 #if UNITY_EDITOR //Editor only tag
 using UnityEditor;
 #endif //Editor only tag
 
 
 public class CreateJornalEntry : MonoBehaviour {
 
 
     //-------Temp Variables----------
     int jornalPage;
     string title;
     string notes;
     string audioPath;
     string colorMood;
     bool share; 
     //-------------------------------
 
 
     List<string> colorMoods = new List<string>() {"Select Colour...", "Red", "Green", "Blue", "Gray" };
     AudioClip myAudioClip;
     AudioSource audioSource;
     
     public InputField inputTitle;
     public InputField inputNotes;
     public Dropdown colorDropdown;
     public Text infoText;
     public Toggle toggleRecord;
     public Toggle togglePlayRecording;
     bool recordingInProgress;
     bool playingInProgress;
 
 
     public void JornalConstructor(int _jornalPage, string _title, string _notes, string _audioPath, string _colorMood, bool _share)
     {
         JournalAsset asset = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<JournalAsset>();
 
         asset.journalPage = _jornalPage;
         asset.title = _title;
         asset.notes = _notes;
         asset.date = System.DateTime.Today.Date.ToString("MM-dd-yyyy");
         asset.time = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
         asset.audioPath = _audioPath;
         asset.colorMood = _colorMood;
         asset.share = _share;
 
         AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(asset, "Assets/Data/Jornal_"+ _jornalPage +"_"+_title + ".asset");
 
     }
 
     
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start ()
     {
         audioSource = gameObject.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
         
         inputTitle.onEndEdit.AddListener(input => title = input);

         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("SavedJornalPage", PlayerPrefs.GetInt("SavedJornalPage") + 1);
         jornalPage = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("SavedJornalPage");
 
     }

         //When playback has finished turn toggle off.
