This was the year of finishing journals. I purchased this in 2008 and just completed it. I can’t say I enjoyed it however. The prompts were boring to me.
This journal is one of the most brilliant, amazing thing ever invented. Period.

This book cracked open the genre of no-holds-barred artistic journaling.
Content Warnings
It can seem boring and trite today, but at the time of its initial publication, very few (if any) efforts to capture this kind of energy were published.

This isn’t just a book or a journal, this is a project, an undertaking, a small commitment you have to make with yourself if you are going to complete this.
I had to make myself do things I would never do. Without being too spoilerish I’ll just say you really are supposed to be the opposite of careful with this book. That drives me crazy. That isn’t all, but find out for yourself. Some of it is hilariously funny and yet, are you seriously telling me to do that?
What I mean by that is, it pushes your boundaries and makes you think of both art and journaling in a different way. It tries to expand the ideas we have established of what we think a journal is. See, it’s not just about someone sitting down to neatly chronicle events and feelings; rather it can be the ultimate form of expression, experimentation of creation, and thought collection!
Each page tells you something different to do to, with, or in the journal— something wacky, zany, creative, hilarious, fun, messy— something different!
I ended up really loving it and giving several of her other things a try. I also roped my mom into doing one of these of her owner the same time. She and I had some real fun getting these pages done and finding things to go on them. It helped me in my journaling and opened up new avenues of creativity. To me that was great considering my journals and idea books have always been eclectic. It would make a fun group project!

Cute... But it's not really a "book"! More of a coloring book for those who are literate.
