Thanks for this! I'm working on a compilation - with selective editing - of a year of journaling. Inspired by Ross Gay's "The Book of Delights, my journaling goes in a different direction that I hope will be fun for readers, aiming to release spring 2026. Your post makes me think I'm not crazy.
Great post. I love journaling. My memoir Honeymoon at Sea was based on my 35 year old journals of our first voyage around Baja California's Sea of Cortez.
My journals have become my "go to's" in so many capacities - almost photo albums, doodle books, therapy, etc. How did you use your journals when curating your memoir? Did you create a system?
I briefly scanned your article. I think you are so right. I have so much myself but it would be a lot of work.

I'm so excited to teach this workshop and share some life-long skills.
