Journaling — now and forward
Perhaps you write in a journal daily, or weekly, or when something life-changing happens- or- you’ve thought about writing, but are looking for some traction to get started…
The Library’s free monthly Journaling Program has been meeting since summer 2016, and includes journal-writers of all levels of experience, as well as those who want to try taking up pen & paper for the first time. All are welcome.
For the moment, while many of us may be working from home- or at least in an isolation that has postponed gathering in groups for the time being, here are some resources to support your writing efforts- wherever you may be now. Many write to preserve the present- for future readers, perhaps to pass along to later generations- or even just to re-read one’s journeys later on.
