The idea of journaling seems to be catching on like wildfire lately. How to actually start, what to write and how to use completed journals, however, is a sticking point for many.
Leaving a Trace is written with many purposes in mind. It is divided into thirds, each addressing a specific aspect of journaling. The first section, The Successful Journal : Practical Inspiration is packed with helpful techniques to aid in getting pen to paper. Next, Transforming a Life : Patterns and Meaning discusses uses for existing journals, such as finding life patterns or reoccurring themes. The final section, Crossover : Moving a Journal into Creative Work provides techniques for using journals as a stepping stone for memoirs, novels, etc. In addition to practical examples, each chapter includes specific exercises to stop one's inner Censor, and move past creative obstacles.
Ms Johnson has done a masterful job creating a journaling guide that is both practical and inspiring. Whether the purpose of one's journal is for spiritual introspection, a family record, or the starting point for a larger work, Leaving a Trace is a fabulous guide.
