I don’t know how I missed this, but I did. Keri Smith’s latest book Wreck This Journal sounds like a lot of fun. I’d love to get hold of a copy, but can’t at this moment. I loved reading the reviews on Amazon.com.

I’ve previously mentioned cathartic writing as a journal writing technique before. But after reading this blog entry on the subject, I felt it might be good to revisit the topic.

If Brothers keeps a journal or not, his reference inspired me to ask the question; […]
Over the weekend the sun shone for the first time in what seems like ages. My little boy and I sat outside on a blanket and played. Well, I did most of the sitting while he played. I spent some time writing in my journal as I threw a ball for him to go find […]
Yesterday I came to the final pages of my journal. I particularly liked this last one. The soft covers were great and the way the book always lay flat made it so easy to write in. I also started writing in a new journal. This one is covered in pink fabric. It’s hardcover and twice […]
