I was writing in my current journal today and discovered I’m on the last few pages. Which makes me realise I need to think about which one, from my collection of journals, to select for use next. In a way it makes me glad I have so many to choose from. But I am stuck […]
I read this news story with interest today. I felt a little guilty when I noticed Notebookism also posted this, but I felt the more people who know about this diary the better.
Here’s a direct link: Emma Darwin’s Diaries 1824-1896. Her writings certainly aren’t elaborate, but I’m sure you will find them interesting, too.

A good definition of self censorship is when you give into doubts about what you have to say. This blog entry describes what it is to censor yourself, especially in writing for a public forum. Here’s a […]
I hope you had a chance to read some of the comments on the entry I posted on Thursday 8th March. It’s not too late to join the discussion.
From the responses so far it seems there is agreement on a greater sense of freedom in a personal journal; less need to self censor; room […]
I couldn’t resist passing on this news story about yet another famous person keeping a journal. Apparently it’s all part of her current therapy, but she’s used journal writing before as a tool for writing lyrics for her songs.
Although I’m no fan I sure hope the journal writing therapy brings her more than just […]
It’s Friday already and that means it’s Freaky Friday. If you need to know more about this journal writing challenge please read the First Freaky Friday entry.
