Writing Through the Storm

an e-book for more ways to journal through difficult times

It’s here, darlings.

Writing Through the Storm is the sequel to Rawness of Remembering: Restorative Journaling Through Difficult Times, the first online course-turned-workbook I created for students to learn about the techniques I’d developed to engage in restorative journaling. I thought it was time to create a sequel to share even more that I’ve learned about journaling through the storm.

A lot has happened in the last decade: my husband fighting cancer, my own chronic illness becoming ferocious and changing my life, and family issues that have turned my life upside-down, among other things. I kept thinking about Taylor Swift saying that making things keeps her going when times are hard. Keep making things, is the advice she gives younger pop stars who are facing their first major backlash. The line I recall most from Miss Americana, the documentary about Taylor filmed in the era in which she wrote Reputation and Lover, is: “I can’t control what happens to me, but I can control what I write.” 

Journaling through hard times is one of those things that makes sense to me. This gorgeous 26-paged ebook is a tool that I hope will make sense to you, too.
