About Journals (Functions & Distinctions)

I want to share a bit of information about journals that we discuss in my 3-week journal course, which you may find useful. 

There are four distinct aspects of a journal that define its functions, content, and purpose. 

 


A journal is essentially a “living” document that functions as:
·       A repository of thoughts, feelings, dreams, revelations, and ideas
·       A self-exploration tool for working through issues, tapping into the subconscious
·       A reference source of study materials, notes, articles, sketches, etc.; it can be used as a basis for other works, e.g., books, films, etc.
·       An earth record of your being, experiences, life, or an era of your life (memoir)


Your intention for keeping a journal defines its function, which may be singular or varied. The focus can also change in mid-stream, consciously or subconsciously. Just go with the flow, let it unfold, and watch where it takes you.

We still have room in the course if you want to join us next Saturday. You can register at EventBrite (Baltimore City / More Than a Journal) or contact me at either moonmythpublishing@gmail.com or 443.857.2402 to register on site.
