'We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.' - C. Day Lewis
Journal writing is one of the most powerful and easily accessible tools we have to heal, expand and transform our lives.
In this exceptionally positive and encouraging book, Stephanie Dowrick frees the journal writer she believes is in virtually everyone, showing through stories and examples that a genuine sense of possibility can be revived on every page.
Creative journal writing goes way beyond recording events. It can be the companion that supports but doesn't judge, a place of unparalleled discovery and a creative playground where the everyday rules no longer count.
Combining a rich choice of ideas with wonderful stories, quotes and her refreshingly intimate thoughts gained through a lifetime of writing, Stephanie's insights and confidence make journal writing irresistible - and your own life more enchanting.
