panIf you like random trivia about entirely unrelated nonsense loosely tied to “writing” via some kind of alcohol or wishful thinking, this is the book for you. If you might enjoy a (too) long diatribe about the differences between diaries and journals, complete with definitions admittedly made up by the author, this book is for you. If you want to actually learn about writing, look elsewhere.

An old man was misjudged by his monstrous, prejudiced neighbours, and it‘s his fault because he didn‘t tell anyone his story. His neighbours are completely off the hook for their monstrous behaviour toward someone they don‘t know, because the old man didn‘t want to tell his story. Lovely. I can see what kind of person this woman is. 🤮 She is seriously lucky there are only 2 mins left.

She writes historical fiction? That tracks. An historical fiction author recommending research... that‘s rich.

I do not like this author. She does not feel safe (if that makes sense to anyone else).
“A setting is what you make of it” is how she white washes the abuse she endured at the hands of a weirdo in LA (complete with “unauthorised portraits”). This does not feel mentally well. LA gave her “courage and a thick skin” ... don‘t forget the trauma and denial she‘s making light of.

The “questions” are sort of pointless. What does it matter to my writing if I know specifics about The Partridge Family or how many members of the Manson Family there were? What does it matter what Roald Dahl was burried with or what voice Toni Morrison‘s family used when the landlord set fire to their house? This makes no sense. What does it matter to anything which famous people have GEDs?

I fear I‘m going to have an unpopular opinion on this one…

I‘ve started journaling this year because I‘m reading a book called “My Healthy Noggin” by Bokinia Colbert that‘s about mental wellness journaling right now. The book has guided journal prompts and blank journal pages. Taylor Bradshaw asked this question in his Facebook group and this was my response.
