It can be a fun and creative way to spend time with others. 5. Do I need any special supplies? Draw a picture of yourself where you feel strong and confident. Hang it where you can see it every day as a reminder of your strength. Interesting idea. This book is where I developed my belief that one should not treat books one reads with reverence. Let me explain: I am engaged to a man that collects comic books. Now, as a general rule, comics are fairly fragile, being only a few sheets of paper held together with a couple staples. So when he reads them, he holds them delicately, and their spines are never broken. The books are never opened wide, and he lies them down open on his palms, instead of holding each side of the book upright. They are kept in bags with cardboard (all acid free archival quality!) in doing all this, he is ensuring that these comic books will be worth more money in future years. His treatment of them has spread into his treatment of regular novels and bound materials. It then spread to me and I found myself coddling each hardcover I owned and I avoided breaking book spines as much as possible.

What I mean by that is, it pushes your boundaries and makes you think of both art and journaling in a different way. It tries to expand the ideas we have established of what we think a journal is. See, it’s not just about someone sitting down to neatly chronicle events and feelings; rather it can be the ultimate form of expression, experimentation of creation, and thought collection! OR why not have a go at making your OWN JOURNAL?

I LOVE THIS BOOK SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But hey, if anyone enjoys this or gets something out of this who am I to judge? It's definitely thinking outside of the box. I can see the quirky appeal of it and I can see why it would sell well in a gift shop... whether or not it would be read. I can see why it would be fun to someone completely bored and young and free. Like when I was much younger and had to sit at a parent's friend's house, the boredom of being trapped in one space... I can see then how this book could be a day of activities that might help me forget I was trapped. But even still, does it lead anywhere in improving 'creativity'? Doesn't it fail in being unable like any other book might, in leaving some lasting reflection and change us as individuals?
