Just got this book "How to Keep a Spiritual Journal" by Ron Klug. It's awesome! Lots of good advice on journal writing, and how to mine your journal for writing projects.

I'm a sporadic journal keeper at best. My current journal is a big, hardbound book with blank pages - I can paste in emails (cause sometimes thats when I'm the most brilliant ) and notes and pictures - whatever.

Last night I was reading through one of my journals from 1995 and I came across a passage that stunned me. I had written about how much I wanted to write - and how I was dreaming of a "sometime in the future" when my kids would be older, I'd have a computer, more free time, I'd take a writing course and I'd just write, write, write. Eight years later and most of that has come to pass - everything except the "more free time"
