Beyond Pen & Paper

What if you could get the benefits of keeping a journal by stretching the definition of journal writing beyond what we're used to? As a lifelong journalist, coach, and teacher of journal writing, I've heard from many people that they love the idea of what they can get out of keeping a journal, but they struggle with a regular practice of journal writing. What they're looking to get can typically be summarized by the following: they are seeking the experience of processing their thoughts on paper and the clarity that brings or they are eager to create a written record of their daily life. Or both. Beyond Pen & Paper gives a budding journalist, or one struggling to maintain a consistent practice, a new perspective on journal writing. In here are 33 experiments to gain clarity and move forward, or simply to keep a record of your life. Page through it for ideas and inspiration when your journaling practice is in need of spicing up - or to get started with your first journal.
