Journal for You

There are 17 journal writing articles on the Journalforyou.com website. It’s a shame no more have been added since October 2003. They were onto a good thing. The links page no longer works and it appears the Yahoo Group is not around anymore, either.

Running Rhino Journals

Have you seen the Running Rhino journals yet? While they have several other journal writing related products their journals are worth checking out. I really want to own one for myself. I love the idea of one page lined and one page blank, “for greatest freedom.”

There are 32 entries for your reading pleasure with links to many of their current and past online journals. I found myself drawn to read their reasons for beginning to write […]

John Wesley

Find excerpts from John Wesley’s personal journals from 1737 onwards here. The blog site is maintained by someone identified as Seymour and leaving only an email contact. I could only access entries from Thursday 27th September 1739. Where John Wesley left spaces of time in his journal, Seymour fills in with sermons and other information […]

Cathartic Journal Writing

There are times you come to your journal and let loose a gush of words onto the pages. These are usually times of heightened emotion; anger, frustration, rage, joy, surprise, etc. Often this style of writing is called catharsis. Wikipedia gives this definition of catharsis.
