Thursday, July 26, 2007

Three birthdays today, all brought to you by way of the Writer’s Almanac.

High Quality Journals

Wednesday, March 31, 2004

It’s nice to have a quality journal to write in.
I may not be an Oscar Wilde, who was famously in love with his own journal, but I do occasionally like to write in one. And, I have to tell you, I’ve scribbled in everything from cheap, spiral-notebooks to heavy, leather-esque tomes, but the best [...]
