Simple, motivating and friendly. With so many books with overwelming content, Write Away cuts to the chase in its accessible approach to writing. The author provides warm support with her simple style and encouragement. I have been journaling for years and this excellent manual surprised me with all of its little nuggets of inspiration. Well done Eldonna Bouten!

Eldonna Bouton has packed a punch with this booklet on how to write and keep a journal! In the booklet's 32 pages, she has included 20 different journaling methods; prompts to get you started; and the "rules" of journaling (of which there are none!) If you have always wanted to keep a journal but didn't know where to start, Bouton's "Write Away" is the perfect beginning for you! Enjoy!

This little booklet is just what I needed to get started in journaling. There are some great topic ideas as well as how to choose a journal and how to make an appointment with yourself to establish a regular habit of writing.

The author's warmth comes through her gentle words as she encourages you to use a journal to connect with the lost parts of yourself.

Short on size but not on content. And the bibliography helped me find lots of other good books as well.

I wasn't expecting a comprehensive volume...it does say "booklet", but if you don't count the bibliography (the same list of books I found by searching Amazon), the table of contents, the order form for Ms. Bouton's other books, etc....you're left with exactly 15 pages--each with about 2 narrow paragraphs of obvious and boring suggestions. There's less content here than you would find on a website or perhaps in a pamphlet being handed out at a class or conference....not worth paying for, though.
