Why Journal Writing Works

I was sent the link to this article by Jenny. It makes an interesting read. I’m often writing how I currently feel in my journal. At times it feels pointless. I’ve wondered if I should continue. But after reading this article I will be more determined than ever to write about and identify emotion in […]
