Dear Diary - The Art and Craft of Writing a Creative Journal by Joan R. Neubauer

 Do you keep a Diary? If not, what's stopping you?

Everyone has a story worth sharing. It could be as general as observations about your daily life, or as specific as the joy you feel watching your child's peculiar way of brushing his or her teeth. Or, your story might focus on more exciting moments, like adventures from a trip abroad or perhaps winning an award.

Wherever your interests lie, your life is full of memories you won't want to forget. This book will convince you of the power and joy of keeping a journal to record these memories. Documenting your thoughts and experiences gives you a new perspective, leaves insights for your posterity, and even lays the foundation for an autobiography.

This book contains helpful ideas for getting started and shares numerous ideas for energizing and refining your writing. You'll be inspired by the history of journal wiring, as well as by knowing the steps involved in creating a diary, and the rewards of this thousands-year-old pastime. Once you've begun your journal, you'll want to return to this book again and again for a fresh supply of ideas and encouragement.
