I actually have that book, (though not here in Maryland at the 
moment) I have several books by Julia Cameron.

Hi Amy,
One of my very favorite books has been "The Right to Write." That 
book is probably for writers, but it made me feel better about 
using writing for such things as simply forcing myself to examine 
my thoughts about whatever is bothering me.  I just started 
another book that Bookshare has called Accidental Genius: Using 
Writing to Generate Your Best Ideas, Insights, and Content.

Thanks.

Jim

Hello Jim,
Well you don't have to be a "writer" to keep a journal.
I've been a writer since I was young and journal writing I've
discovered isn't something that is covered much in creative or
other writing aspects and hopefully this will start to change
some of that.

Hi Amy,
Thank you so much.  When I do write in my journal, I use a
password protected Word document.  I don't view myself as a
creative writer as I imagine many of this list's members are.
Mostly, I'm just trying to get better at putting words together.
I've played a bit with poetry.  I have so far not attempted much
fiction.  I feel that I am good at explaining how to do things,
though, which is why I have sometimes gravitated to technical
writing.  I use my journal for sensitive reasons.  It would be
nice to hear what approaches are out there.

Thanks.

Jim

Amy

I may (or may not) attend your seminar.

I know you will be up against a financial planning seminar and a
seminar on the new health insurance law, so material for 34
people will probably be more than enough.

Please post to the listservs.

Hello NFB Members,
My name is Amy McGarrah.  I am in the process of making final
preparations to give a workshop on journal writing/diary keeping
at the NFB of Marforand State convention in Ocean City in
November.
What I need to know from fellow federationists is how many would
be interested in participating in such a workshop.  I have enough
supplies for 34 participants,  doesn't mean that more can't come.
ge of Journaling has been a part of my life since I was a child.
I've been keeping journals/diaries since about the age of nine or
ten.
Journaling is something that anyone, whether a writer or not can
do.  The purpose of this workshop is to teach people who may not
know about the process and what it takes to keep a journal.
Some supplies will be provided, but if attendees want to bring
their own, that's fine too.
Anyone who is interested in attending the workshop, please get in
touch with me via email:
amyemcgarrah at gmail.com
between now and November 7th so that I can create a list of
possible attendees.
Thank you,
Amy
