Richard E Grant
I enjoyed reading this news story about actor, writer and director Richard E Grant. Apparently he’s kept a journal for the last 40 years. Grant says of keeping a diary:
“It’s kept me sane — literally has kept me sane — and has been a great comfort and a great solace. I just love doing it.”
His directorial film debut, which he also wrote, Wah Wah, arose out of events he first penned in his diary some 40 years ago.
I hope this encourages you to pick up a pen and a chosen notebook. Just think what it might lead to.

Think Richard E Grant really has it right - I know writing a journal / diary over the years has helped to keep me sane! I should do it more regularly.
I’ve just discovered Grant’s talent for writing recently - and totally love his style, especially in With Nails: The Film Diaries of Richard E Grant… felt like talking to a friend, not just reading… and now can’t wait to get hold of his Wah Wah Diaries…

Hi Beth,
Thanks for commenting. I hope you do get to write a bit more in your diary. We all need some sanity in this crazy world. Thanks for mentioning the link isn’t working. I’ll find another to replace it. Hope to read more comments from you soon. ;-)
