Another Movie with a Notebook?

I was reading over at the Disney Society blog, one of our newest b5media blogs, about the second National Treasure movie. The main character, Nicholas Cage, had a cool journal/notebook in the last film. I’m sure there will be one in this movie, too.

Get Ready for Advent Calendar Project

I received a little reminder from Heather Blakey just a couple of days ago. She’s the lovely lady who runs the Soul Food Cafe, which is an excellent journal writing resource you should put in your favourites, anyway. The reminder was to be ready for the Advent calendar, a project Heather generously creates each year […]

More Changes to Note

One of the best things about writing in a journal is noting the changes in your life. Some changes are gradual; like learning how to deal with a new work place, new people, or a new neighbourhood. Other changes are sudden, such as beginning a new job or moving to a new house. But once […]

Creative Clichés

One of the worst things I used to notice when rereading my journals was the amount of clichés I used. To prevent these boring clichés occurring too often I began to go on the offensive while writing in my journal. If a cliché was my first thought I would try hard to write something different. […]

Poetic Code

While researching and reading online tonight I came across this article. I couldn’t help wanting to share it with you. The author, Neeman Sobhan, has an obvious love for language. I was intrigued with her views on self-censorship, poetry as code and simply the joy of reading her voice in the article. I’d be interested […]

Alzheimer’s & Idea Rich Writing

Years ago I read an article in my local newspaper, The West Australian, about a study done on nuns and the journals and/or diaries they kept, looking for clues to detect Alzheimer’s disease.

Lazy Sundays

Since Saturday was anything but lazy for me I was determined to have a relaxing day today. Of course nothing ever works out as planned and my day was even busier than yesterday. So that’s why I’m sitting here a lot later than usual writing in my blog.

Freaky Friday #84

Today is Friday 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.

Stupid Pen

This morning while writing in my journal I had a frustrating time with my latest pen. I’d selected it for the fat nib, smooth flow of ink coming from the pen, the comfort of holding it in my hand and the colour. When I tested it the pen in the store it worked fine. But […]
