Whether we're funny, poignant, to the point, or edgy, our journal entries can become a piece with take away value. #JournalChat #Journaling

Aside from emotion, there is also our unique point of view and how we choose to share it. #Journaling#JournalChat

I used to write "slice of life" columns for an online venue that came entirely from my journal - copiously edited, of course. #JournalChat
