The Writer's Journey Journal

Inspiration, Information and Humor
to help you find your way
as a writer

For all writers, new or old, experienced or novice, writing is a journey. A journey of discovery, of adventure, of danger, of romance... in short, a journey within the mind and heart of the writer.

From the back cover of The Writer's Journey Journal...

"Writers are explorers.

"We visit places others have not seen, we push on
sometimes even when others warn us that where we
are headed, is dangerous.

"But by our nature, we yearn to go down the never-
traveled or seldom-traveled path. We find new
places of our own creation, populating them with
those who live within our heads and hearts...."

What others are saying:

"The Writer’s Journey Journal truly is a source of inspiration, information, and humor, as the cover indicates. I, myself, have been stuck in a rut for several months due to circumstances beyond my control. I found myself nodding or smiling in agreement as I read the quotations and advice by writers and editors throughout the book. They provide valuable advice on writing technique, submissions, and marketing.

"Writing exercises, online marketing resources, and writing organizations are listed in the back of the book.

"The book, as a whole, will surely nurture those who, like me, have lost the desire to put words to paper. So far, I’ve used it to jot down ideas for three non-fiction articles. Surprisingly, I’d previously thought of myself as a fiction writer. Not anymore. Now I’m inspired to spread my wings and soar. If I encounter a bit of turbulence along the way, I know that I can pick up The Writer’s Journey Journal to again feed my writer’s soul."

—Lenee Davis, aspiring writer

"The unique approach of The Writer's Journey Journal is a winner. The advice and thought-provoking quotes on writing combined with room to put down the ideas they spark give writers, new or seasoned, an easy jump-off into their own projects. The friendly tone encourages without intimidating. This journal is more like a companion, one who understands and helps you along your writing path."

-- Mary Saums, author of
the Thistle and Twigg mystery series, and the Willi Taft mystery series

"I studied this little book over some chips and salsa at a local Mexican restaurant. At the time, I was feeling stuck and a bit frustrated with my current novel. One of the sections, entitled "Conflict As a Foundation," provided some literary jumper cables for my stalled imagination. While it didn't solve all my problems, it did end the discouragement and help me work through some of them. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a writer or already is."

Susan Kirkland, author of
